| | FOR THE REPLACED AC SYSTEMS HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED. |
| | PLEASE SEE EXCEPTION #2 PRINTED BELOW |
| | |
| | SECTION C101.4.7 FBC-14 ENERGY CONSERVATION: BUILDING |
| | SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS. |
| | THERMAL EFFICIENCY STANDARDS ARE SET FOR THE FOLLOWING |
| | BUILDING SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS WHERE NEW PRODUCTS ARE |
| | INSTALLED OR REPLACED IN EXISTING BUILDINGS, AND FOR |
| | WHICH A PERMIT MUST BE OBTAINED. NEW PRODUCTS SHALL |
| | MEET THE MINIMUM EFFICIENCIES ALLOWED BY THIS CODE FOR |
| | THE FOLLOWING SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS: |
| | |
| | HEATING, VENTILATING OR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. |
| | |
| | SERVICE WATER OR POOL HEATING SYSTEMS. |
| | |
| | ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND MOTORS. |
| | |
| | LIGHTING SYSTEMS. |
| | |
| | REPLACEMENT FENESTRATION. |
| | |
| | EXCEPTIONS: |
| | |
| | 1. WHERE PART OF A FUNCTIONAL UNIT IS REPAIRED OR |
| | REPLACED. FOR EXAMPLE, REPLACEMENT OF AN ENTIRE HVAC |
| | SYSTEM IS NOT REQUIRED BECAUSE A NEW COMPRESSOR OR |
| | OTHER PART DOES NOT MEET CODE WHEN INSTALLED WITH AN |
| | OLDER SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | 2. IF THE UNIT BEING REPLACED IS ITSELF A FUNCTIONAL |
| | UNIT, SUCH AS A CONDENSER, IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A |
| | REPAIR. OUTDOOR AND INDOOR UNITS THAT ARE NOT DESIGNED |
| | TO BE OPERATED TOGETHER MUST MEET THE U.S. DEPARTMENT |
| | OF ENERGY CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN |
| | SECTION C403.2.3. MATCHED SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED; THIS |
| | MATCH MAY BE VERIFIED BY ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING |

| | |
| | 3. WHERE EXISTING COMPONENTS ARE UTILIZED WITH A |
| | REPLACEMENT SYSTEM, SUCH AS AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM |
| | DUCTS OR ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR LIGHTS, SUCH COMPONENTS |
| | OR CONTROLS NEED NOT MEET CODE IF MEETING CODE WOULD |
| | REQUIRE THAT COMPONENT?S REPLACEMENT. |
| | |
| | 4. REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD REQUIRE EXTENSIVE |
| | REVISIONS TO OTHER SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT OR ELEMENTS OF A |
| | BUILDING WHERE SUCH REPLACEMENT IS A LIKE-FOR-LIKE |
| | REPLACEMENT, SUCH AS THROUGH-THE-WALL CONDENSING UNITS |
| | AND PTACS, CHILLERS, AND COOLING TOWERS IN CONFINED |
| | SPACES. |
