REMARKS This revised T24 report is issued to change the conditioned square footage of the proposed project. This report supercedes our report issued in March 2006. The values and materials used in this compliance portfolio are the minimum required to show compliance with Title 24 Energy Conservation Standards. The owner may (at his/her option) install better materials without additional compliance calculations. The HVAC load calculations included in this compliance report are for permit purposes only. The installing HVAC contractor is responsible for determining the HVAC design loads and equipment selection. The HVAC design shall be done in accordance with industry standards. The load calculation in this report ( considers ambient temperature load, solar gain, people and a fixed latent heat gain percentage. This basic load must be adjusted for additional design condiitons and system/ equipment performance.

Enerav Effid Radiant Barrier Construction Practice To qualify, a radiant barrier must have an emittance of 0.05 or less. The product must be tested according to ASTM C-1371-98 or ASTM E408-71(2002) and must be certified by the Department of Consumer Affairs2. Radiant barriers must also meet installation criteria as specified iP Section 4.2.1 of the Residential ACM Manual (Section 4.2.1 is also reprodu� t ,4 pendix D of this document). The most common way of meeting cant b\2�rr1 uirement is to use roof sheathing that has a di t barieised nd to it ' factory. Oriented strand board (OSB) is the m;t ena vailable with a factory -applied radiant barrier. Tfa-stataath: �i , with the radiant barrier (shiny side) f g do w d the tti pa. Alternatively, a radiant barrier material that s- s e T ) st nd moisture Pe q apply perforation requirements that a pl to f ¢t -I in t an be field -laminated. Field lamination must use a secure ec n ns of holding the foil to the bottom of the roof decking such as pl or nails that do not penetrate all the way through the roof deck material. Other acceptable methods are to drape a foil type radiant barrier over the top of the top chords before the sheathing is installed, stapling the radiant barrier between the top chords after the sheathing is installed, and stapling the radiant barrier to the underside of the truss/rafters (top chord). For these installation methods, the foil must be installed with spacing requirements as described in Section 4.2.1 of the Residential ACM Manual.. The minimum spacing requirements do not apply to this installation since it is considered a "laminated" system. Installation of radiant barriers is somewhat more challenging in the case of closed rafter spaces when sheathing is installed that does not inclu ,�M laminated foil.

Typically, high qxtena I ai in, pin -based sockets, like compact or linear fluorescent or s, -e hough other types such as screw sockets specifically rated for g in discharge lamps (like metal halide lamps) may also be eligible for use. Luminaires with modular components that allow conversion between screw -based and pin -based sockets without changing the luminaire housing or wiring shall not be considered high efficacy luminaires. These requirements prevent low efficacy lamps being retrofitted in high efficacy luminaires. Also, compact fluorescent luminaires with permanently installed ballasts that are capable of operating a range of lamp wattages, the highest operating input wattage of the rated lamp/ballast combination must be use for determining the luminaire wattage. There are two qualifying requirements for a high efficacy luminaire:tj e lumens per watt for the lamp be above a specified threshold th tel Snjc ballasts be used in certain applications. lbaElectronic Ballasts Additionally, fluor(e ^ t i a pP-at ng of 13 W or more shall have -eibctr Ila a e �s a lfrequency of 20 kHz or more.

Outdoor IIMT afire 'th h intensity discharge (HID) lamps (like metal halide or high - ss s ium) containing hardwired electromagnetic HID ballasts with HID cc edium base sockets and lamps meeting the minimum efficacy requirements in Table 6-1 are considered high efficacy. At the present time, pin based compact fluorescent lamps that are operated with electronic ballasts typically have four -pin lamp holders. Pin -based compact fluorescent lamps with two -pin lamp holders typically will indicate that the ballast is magnetic. However, there are new compact fluorescent lamp holders being considered by the lighting industry.

If a manual -on occupant sensor has an on/off switch to put the sensor into a temporary programming mode, the on/off programming switch must automatically switch off (for example, within 15 minutes) in the event the end user or installer leaves it in the programming mode. Some models of occupant sensors have the capability to be changed by the occupant to "automatic -on" by removing the switchplate or touchplate and changing switch settings.

It is important to correctly match the dimmer with the type of lighting load that is being dimmed. Failure to correctly match the dimmer with the electrical lighting load may result in early equipment failure, including the dimmer, transformer, ballast, or lamp. Dimmer manufacturers typically offer three basic types of incandescent dimmers: Line voltage (120 volt), low -voltage for use with a magnetic transformer, and low -voltage for use with an electronic transformer.

These nine steps are necessary. I. Always check for uniform rafter alignment. 2. Provide adequate roof ventilation according to building code in your area. 3. Panel spacing on ends and edges should be 1/8'. 4. Place TechShield'rm radiant barrier sheathing panels with the foil side facing down on the roof, (toward the attic air space). 5. Fasten the panels a minimum of G' on center at supported panel ends and edges, and 12" on center at intermediate supports; 8d nails are recommended. 6. Protect TechShield panels from moisture prior to and during installation. 7. Use shingle underlayment (or #15 roofing felt) to cover roof as soon as possible to protect panels from exposure to adverse weather conditions. Use #30 roofing felt if construction delays are anticipated. 8. Allow sheathing to adjust to atmospheric conditions before shingle installation. Heavier weight or textured shingles are recommended over lightweight fiberglass shingles. 9. Install all panels with APA, LP and TechShield sheathing trademarks DOWN. TechShield sheathing can be used as a radiant barrier on gables and walls to reduce solar gain in these areas. This is particularly true for southern exposure exterior home surfaces that can absorb heat from prolonged exposure to the sun.

As with the installation of TechShield sheathing on roofs, it is important that the TechShield sheathing is installed with the foil side facing into the attic. WALL INSTALLATION In a brick wall application, TechShield sheathing's foil surface should face the exterior of the home (out). This gives TechShield sheathing the required air space between the brick and the wall. In a siding application, TechShield sheathing's foil surface should face the exterior of the home (out). Use furring strips to create a separation between the foil and the siding. This gives TechShield sheathing the required air space between the siding and the wall.

Protea TechShield radiant barrier sheathing from moisture prior to and during installation. Outside storage, if necessary, requires panels to be covered with plastic sheets or tarpaulins with the sides loosely covered to provide adequate air ventilation. Handle TechShield radiant barrier sheathing panels as you would other APA -rated LP sheathing panel products. Be careful not to drop on corners or crush panel edges. Keep panels well supported and nearly stacked to prevent warping. Use caution to avoid damage to the radiant barrier foil surface. Radiant barriers may interfere with attic -mounted antenna reception. Temperature studies are available from LP upon request.

Consumers view TechShield as an energy -wise investment. Consumers have made it clear that they are willing to pay extra for energy-efficient upgrades. They see TechShield's benefits as an indicator of building quality that will increase any home's value. That means homes built with TechShield have an extra selling advantage in a competitive marketplace. Here's why It works Aluminum is a great x conductor, but is an men greater reflector. The thin aluminum sheet laminated to the sheathing has a property called "low emissivity"that blocks or reflects back all but up to 3% of the heat transmitted down through the sheathing by conduction. The lower the emissivity of a materia4 the better it blocks heat. The emissivity of TechShield radiant barrier is <_ 0.05, which is very effective. Unlike other radiant barriers, TechShield is the first patented; laminated radiant barrier system. Its design uses tiny patented incisions in the aluminum to allow the panel to acclimate faster at your job site. You get outstanding panel performance with TechShield that makes your homes stand out.
