• Radiant, hydronic, ground source and other innovative space heating and cooling systems are <br /> included in the proposed design. A4.207.1 <br /> • An HVAC system commissioning plan is developed and the following items, as appropriate, <br /> pertaining to the heating and cooling systems are inspected and certified by an independent third <br /> party agency. A4.207.2 <br /> • Results of the commissioning inspection are included in the Operation and Maintenance Manual <br /> required in Section 4.410.1. A4.207.2.3 <br /> • Install gas -fired space heating equipment with an Annual Fuel Utilization Ratio (AFUE) of .90 or <br /> higher. A4.207.4 <br /> • If an electric heat pump must be used, select equipment with a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor <br /> (HSPF) of 8.0 or higher. A4.207.5 <br /> • When installed, cooling equipment with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) higher than 13.0 <br /> and an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of at least 11.5. A4.207.6 <br /> • Install ductwork to comply with at least one of the following A4.207.7: <br /> 1. Install ducts within the conditioned envelope of the building. <br /> 2. Install ducts in an underfloor crawl space. <br /> 3. Use ducts with an R-6 insulation value or higher. <br /> 4. Install ductwork which is buried in the ceiling insulation. <br /> • Perform duct leakage testing to verify a total leakage rate of less than 6 percent of the total fan flow. <br /> A4.207.8 <br /> • Install a whole -house fan with insulated louvers or an insulated cover. A4.207.9 <br /> • ENERGY STAR ceiling fans are installed in all bedrooms and living areas. A4.207.10 <br /> • The Energy Factor (EF) for any gas -fired storage water heater is higher than .60. A4.208.1 <br /> • The Energy Factor (EF) for any gas -fired tankless water heater is .80 or higher. A4.208.2 <br /> • Where the hot water source is more than 10 feet from a fixture, the potable water distribution system <br /> will convey hot water using a method designed to minimize wait time for hot water to arrive at the <br /> fixture. A4.208.3 <br /> • Building lighting consists of at least 90 percent ENERGY STAR hard -wired fixtures. A4.209.1 <br /> • Appliances provided by the builder meet ENERGY STAR if applicable for that appliance. A4.210.1 <br /> • Install a solar photovoltaic (PV) system that exceeds the California Energy Code requirements, based <br /> on the 2008 Energy Efficiency Standards requirements by 15 percent. A4.211.1 <br /> • A solar water heating system is installed. A4.211.2 <br /> • 300 square feet of southerly space on the roof surface and penetrations through the roof surface is <br /> provided for future solar installation. A4.211.3 <br /> • A minimum one -inch conduit is provided from the electrical service equipment for the future <br /> installation of a photovoltaic (PV) system. A4.211.4 <br /> • Additional items necessary to address innovative concepts or local environmental conditions. <br /> A4.213.1 <br /> WATER EFFICIENCY & CONSERVATION (1 Required) <br /> • Dishwashers are ENERGY STAR and do not use more than 5.8 gallons of water per cycle. A4.303.1 <br /> • Non -water supplied urinals or waterless toilets are installed. A4.303.2 <br /> • Install a low -water consumption irrigation system. A4.304.1 <br /> • A rainwater capture, storage and re -use system is designed and installed. A4.304.2 <br /> • A water budget is developed for landscape irrigation. A4.304.3 <br /> • Provide a water efficient landscape irrigation design that demonstrates a reduction of the use of <br /> potable water to less than 60 percent of ETo times the landscape area. A4.304.4 <br /> • A landscape design is installed which does not utilize potable water. A4.304.5 <br /> • Piping is installed to permit future use of a graywater irrigation system served by the clothes washer <br /> or other fixtures.
