Data filename: State Farm Insurance 2.cck
The following list provides more detailed descriptions of the requirements in Section 4 of the Mechanical Compliance
Certificate.
Requirements Specific To: HVAC System 1
1. The specified heating and/or cooling equipment is covered by the ASHRAE 90.1 Code and must meet the following minimum
efficiency: Heat Pump: 3.2 COP, 10.1 EER
2. Heat pumps having supplementary electric resistance heat must have controls that, except during defrost, prevent supplementary
heat operation when the heat pump can meet the heating load.
Generic Requirements: Must be met by all systems to which the requirement is applicable:
1. Design heating and cooling loads for the building must be determined using procedures in the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals
or an approved equivalent calculation procedure.
2. All equipment and systems must be sized to be no greater than needed to meet calculated loads. A single piece of equipment
providing both heating and cooling must satisfy this provision for one function with the capacity for the other function as small as
possible, within available equipment options.
Exception: The equipment and/or system capacity may be greater than calculated loads for standby purposes. Standby
equipment must be automatically controlled to be off when the primary equipment and/or system is operating.
Exception: Multiple units of the same equipment type whose combined capacities exceed the calculated load are allowed if they

Exception: A setback or shutoff control is not required on systems with total energy demand of 2 kW (6,826 Btu/h) or less.
6. The system must supply outside ventilation air as required by Chapter 4 of the International Mechanical Code. If the ventilation
system is designed to supply outdoor -air quantities exceeding minimum required levels, the system must be capable of reducing
outdoor -air flow to the minimum required levels.
7. Air ducts must be insulated to the following levels:a) Supply and return air ducts for conditioned air located in unconditioned spaces
(spaces neither heated nor cooled) must be insulated with a minimum of R-5. Unconditioned spaces include attics, crawl spaces,
unheated basements, and unheated garages.b) Supply and return air ducts and plenums must be insulated to a minimum of
R-8 when located outside the building.c) When ducts are located within exterior components (e.g., floors or roofs), minimum R-8
insulation is required only between the duct and the building exterior.
Exception: Duct insulation is not required on ducts located within equipment.
- Exception: Duct insulation is not required when the design temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the duct or
plenum does not exceed 15 degrees F.
- Exception: Continuously welded and locking -type longitudinal joints and seams on ducts operating at static pressures less than
2 inches w.g. pressure classification.
Mechanical fasteners and seals, mastics, or gaskets must be used when connecting ducts to fans and other air distribution
equipment, including multiple -zone terminal units.
All joints, longitudinal and transverse seams, and connections in ductwork must be securely sealed using weldments; mechanical
fasteners with seals, gaskets, or mastics; mesh and mastic sealing systems; or tapes. Tapes and mastics must be listed and
labeled in accordance with UL 181A and shall be marked '181 A-P'for pressure sensitive tape,'181A-M' for mastic or'181A-H' for
heat -sensitive tape. Tapes and mastics used to seal flexible air ductsand flexible air connectors shall comply with UL 1816 and
shall be marked '181 B -FX' for pressure -sensitive tape or'181 B -M' for mastic. Unlisted duct tape is not permitted as a sealant on any
metal ducts.

Acceptable balancing devices include adjustable dampers located within the ductwork, terminal devices, and supply air diffusers.
13. Outdoor air supply and exhaust systems must have motorized dampers that automatically shut when the systems or spaces served
are not in use. Dampers must be capable of automatically shutting off during preoccupancy building warm-up, cool -down, and
