Home My WebLink AboutComments-CorrectionsOrd �� Cv�`�'�►� J CORRECTION LIST: 1. RESUBMIT (2) full sized paper sets of REVISED ARCHITECTURAL PLANS referencing Garfield County's adopted 2018 International Energy Conservation Code IECC and Climate Zone 5B. As plans were originally drafted in June 2022, the previously adopted 2009 IECC edition and older R- values appear to be referenced. The more stringent 2018 IECC went into effect on June 30, 2023. Thank you. Response - Please see sheet CP-1 noting 2018 IECC as applicable energy code 2. RESUBMITTED plan sets should clearly state your chosen ENERGY COMPLIANCE PATH: 2.a. If you intend to build according to the PRESCRIPTIVE PATH using Table R402.1.2 2018 IECC, please state this in writing directly on the architectural plan sheet(s). Response - Please see sheet CP-1 2.b. If you intend to build according to the PRESCRIPTIVE PATH using a RESCHECK REPORT, then please state this in writing and submit a current RESCHECK REPORT with owner's name and job site address on the report. Response - Please see sheet CP-1 2.c. If you intend to construction under the PERFORMANCE PATH, using a HERS RATER and HERS RATING SOFTWARE REPORT, then supply HERS contact information and their prepared preliminary HERS report (s) for plans examination. Thank you. Response - NA 3. Media Room and Office spaces on sheet A-101 have no natural light or natural ventilation openings to the exterior. Can you please expound on what method of mechanical ventilation is anticipated for these two living spaces? Response - both the media room and office space shall utilize dedicated ERV's to ensure aesh air delivery at a rate to meet IRC 2015 R303.4 4. The 55 sq ft "office" space accessed from the master bedroom does not meet code minimum 7 ft room dimension nor minimum 70 sq ft minimum size for habitable rooms under the adopted 2015 International Residential Code Section R304. Please discuss other room configuration options with your client. Please alter or amend this office space to comply to the 2015 IRC Section R304 and resubmit (2) full size amended sheets A-101 for further review. Response -We have decided that this area u +e home shall be used Cbr auxiliary storage (closet space) and shall not be considered habitable space.

It DOES NOT provide an estimate of energy use or cost relative to a minimum -code home. Slab -on -grade tradeoffs are no longer considered in the UA or performance compliance path in REScheck. Each slab -on -grade assembly in the specified climate zone must meet the minimum energy code insulation R-value and depth requirements. Compliance Statement The proposed building design described here is consistent with the building plans, specifications, and other calculations submitted with the permit application. The proposed building has been designed to meet the 2018 IECC requirements in REScheck-Web and to comply with the mandatory requirements listed in the REScheck Inspection Checklist.
