1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this code is to provide minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design and
construction of commercial, institutional, and high-rise multifamily buildings.
2. SCOPE
2.1 Applicability
The code is mandatory for buildings [or building complex: a building or group of buildings in a
contiguous area under one ownership] that have a connected load of 500 kW or contract demand of
600 kVA or greater, however, it is recommended for all buildings on a voluntary basis. Comment: 2.1 How do we take care

Exception to 4.3.4: Overhangs and/or side fins may account for in determining the SHGC for the
proposed design. The adjusted SHGC, accounting for overhangs and/or sidefins, is calculated by
multiplying the SHGC of the unshaded fenestration product times a multiplier (M) which accounts for
the dimensions of the overhang or side fin, relative to the window size.
The multiplier M shall be calculated using Equation 4.3.4.1. A separate calculation shall be made for
each orientation and unique shading condition.

Other fenestration, even if mounted on the roof of a building, is considered vertical fenestration.

is installed within 12 in. of a mass wall, are considered walls, not fenestration.
fenestration area: total area of the fenestration measured using the rough opening and including the
glazing, sash, and frame. For doors where the glazed vision area is less than 50% of the door area,
the fenestration area is the glazed vision area. For all other doors, the fenestration area is the door
area.

infiltration: the uncontrolled inward air leakage through cracks and crevices in any building element
and around windows and doors of a building caused by pressure differences across these elements
due to factors such as wind, inside and outside temperature differences (stack effect), and imbalance
between supply and exhaust air systems.

Equation 4.4.1: The envelope performance factor shall be calculated using the following equations.
where

where
EPFRoof Envelope performance factor for roofs. The default EPFRoof shall be 0.30 for a non
cool roof and 0.70 for a cool roof. Other subscripts include walls and fenestration.
A s, A w The area of a specific envelope component referenced by the subscript "s" or for
windows the subscript "w".
SHGCw The solar heat gain coefficient for windows (w). SHGCs refers to skylights.
Mw A multiplier for the window SHGC that depends on the projection factor of an
overhang or sidefin. These values are determined by the procedures in 13.1.1.
Us The U-factor for the envelope component referenced by the subscript "s".
RBFs Radiant barrier factor for roof surface "s". A radiant barrier factor (RBF) of 0.33 shall
be assumed for roof constructions with a qualifying radiant barrier, otherwise RBF
shall be assumed to be 1.00.
s For mass and metal building roofs, an absorptance () of 0.70 shall be assumed for
roofs that do not qualify as a cool roof. For cool roofs, an absorptance () of 0.30
shall be assumed. The coefficients for use in the EPF equations are contained in
Table 0.
cRoof,Mass A coefficient for the "Roof, Mass" class of construction. Values of "c" are taken from
Table 0.1 through Table 0.5 for each class of construction.

as the proposed design. If the building has both 24-hour and daytime occupancies, the
distribution between these shall be the same as the proposed design.
(b) The U-factor of each envelope component shall be equal to the criteria from 4.3 for each class
of construction.
(c) The vertical fenestration area shall be equal to the proposed design or 40% of the gross exterior
wall area, which ever is less. The skylight area shall be equal to the proposed design or 5% of the
gross exterior roof area, which ever is less.
(d) The SHGC of each window or skylight component shall be equal to the criteria from 4.3.
