REMARKS
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 determing the HVAC design loads and
equipment selection(s). The HVAC design shall be done in accord-
ance 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 conditions and

Title 24 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards Residential Excerpt
Roof Radiant Barrier Mandatory Measures
3.3.3 Radiant Barriers
Radiant Bartrier Requirements
§151(02
The prescriptive requirements call for a radiant. barrier in climate zones with
significant cooling loads (2, 4, and 8 through 15). The radiant barrier is a reflective
material that reduces radiant heat transfer caused by solar heat gain in the roof.
Radiant barriers reduce the radiant gain to air distribution ducts and insulation
located below the radiant barrier. In the performance approach, radiant barriers
are modeled as separate adjustments to the heating U -factor and the cooling U -
factor. The duct efficiency is also affected by the presence of a radiant barrier,
with the performance approach_
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 Gonsumer Affairs2. Radiant barriers must also
meet installation criteria as specified in Residential Appendices RA42.2 (Section
RA422 is also reproduced in Appendix D of this document).
The most common way of meeting the radiant barrier requirement is to use roof
sheathing that has a radiant barrier bonded to it in the factory. Oriented strand
board (OSB) is the most common material available with a factory -applied radiant
barrier. The sheathing is installed with the radiant barrier (shiny side) facing down
toward the attic space. Alternatively, a radiant barrier material that meets the
same ASTM test and moisture perforation requirements that apply to factory -
laminated foil can be field -laminated. Feld lamination must use a secure
mechanical means of holding the foil to the bottom -of the roof deddng such as
staples 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
banter to the underside of the trussfrafters (top chord). For these installation
methods, the foil must be instafled with spacing requirements as: described in
Residential Appendices RA422. 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 include a laminated foil_
Foil maybe field -laminated after the sheathing has been installed by "laminating"
the foil as described above to the.roof sheathing between framing members. This
construction type is described in the Residential Appendices RA 4.2.2.

Title 24 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards Residential Excerpt
Insulation Mandatory Measures
3.3.1 Mandatory Measures
§118
A number of mandatory measures apply to insulation in general, and those are
covered in this section:
• Insulating materials must be certified and labeled by the manufacturer.
Urea formaldehyde foam insulation may be installed only in exterior side
walls and with a four -mil -thick (0.1 mm) plastic polyethylene vapor barrier or
equivalent plastic sheeting vapor barrier installed between the urea
formaldehyde foam insulation and the interior space. Insulating materials
installed in exposed applications must have a flame spread of 25 or less and
a smoke development rating of 450 or less.
Other mandatory measures apply to specific applications, and they are
covered in the sections on ceiling/roof insulation, wall insulation, floor
insulation, and slab insulation.
Certification of Insulating Materials
§118(a)
The California Standards for Insulating Materials, which became effective on
January 1, 1982, ensure that insulation sold or installed in the state performs
according to the stated R -value and meets minimum quality, health and safety
standards.
All materials which claim insulation thermal conductive performance for
compliance must be certified by Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of.
Home Furnishing and Thermal Insulation that the insulation conductive thermal
performance complies with the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 12,
Chapters 12-13, Article 3, "Standards for Insulating Material." Builders may not
install the types of insulating materials indicated in §§118(a) unless the
manufacturer is licensed to sell in California and the insulation product is
certified under one of the categories of insulating materials covered by the
Bureau of Home Furnishings. Builders and enforcement agencies should use
the Department of Consumer Affair's Consumer Guide and Directory of Certified
Insulation Material to check compliance. Enforcement agencies receive a copy
of the current directory. If an insulating product is not listed in the most recent
edition of the directory, or to purchase a directory, contact the Department of
Consumer Affairs Thermal Insulation Program at (916) 574-2041.

plastic sheeting vapor barrier is installed between the urea formaldehyde
foam insulation and the interior space in all applications.
Flame Spread Ratings
I
§f 18(c) 1
California Standards for Insulating Materials require that all exposed installations
of faced mineral fiber and mineral aggregate insulations must use fire retardant
facings. Exposed installations are those where the insulation facings do not
touch a ceiling, wall or floor surface, and faced batts on the underside of roofs
with an air space between the ceiling and facing. These installations require
insulation that has been tested and certified not to exceed a flame spread of 25
and a smoke development rating of 450.
Flame spread ratings and smoke development ratings are shown on the
insulation or packaging material or may be obtained from the manufacturer.

Mandatory Measures
§1 f8(d)
§ 118(e)
§150(a)
§950(b)
These sections are also shown in Appendix B of this document.
The following mandatory measures apply specifically to roof and ceiling
insulation:
• When insulation is installed in the attics of existing buildings, at least R-38
must be installed in climate zones 1 and 16 and at least R-30 in the other
climate zones. Insulation in roof/ceiling constructions must be placed in
direct contact with the infiltration barrier. In most cases the attic is ventilated
and the infiltration barrier is the drywall ceiling; in this case, the insulation
must lie directly on top of the ceiling.
• Wood framed ceiling/roof construction assemblies must have at least R-19
insulation or a maximum U factor of 0.051 based on 16 inch (40 cm) on
center wood framed rafter roofs, as determined from the Reference Joint
Appendix JA4. The equivalent Ufactor is from Table 4.2.2, entry A5, which
is R-19 insulation in a wood framed rafter roof.
• Some areas of the ceiling/roof can fail to meet the mandatory minimum U -
€actor as long as other areas exceed the requirement and the weighted
average U factor for the overall. ceiling/roof is 0.051 or less.
• In new construction, the R-19 mandatory minimum level of insulation applies
for the performance compliance method. Otherwise, the R-19 minimum is
superseded by the prescriptive requirements, which call for either R-30 or R-
38, depending on climate zone. .
• Metal -framed and ceiling/roof constructions other than wood framed must
have a U -factor of 0.051 or less in order to comply with the mandatory
measures. If the insulation is not penetrated by framing, such as rigid
insulation laid over a structural deck, then the rigid insulation can actually
have a rated R -value of less than R-19, and the mandatory measures can be
satisfied.

Appendix JA4. The equivalent U -factor is from Table 4.2.2, entry A5, which
is R-19 insulation in a wood framed rafter roof.
« Some areas of the ceiling/roof can fail to meet the mandatory minimum U -
factor as long as other areas exceed the requirement and the weighted
average U -factor for the overall ceiling/roof is 0.051 or less.
« In new construction, the R-19 mandatory minimum level of insulation applies
for the performance compliance method. Otherwise, the R-19 minimum is
superseded by the prescriptive requirements, which call for either R-30 or R-
38, depending on climate zone.
Metal -framed and ceiling/roof constructions other than wood framed must
have a U -factor of 0.051 or less in order to comply with the mandatory
measures. If the insulation is not penetrated by framing, such as rigid
insulation laid over a structural deck, then the rigid insulation can actually
have a rated R -value of less than R-19, and the mandatory measures can be
satisfied.
Insulation Construction Practices
Construction Practice
Insulation Coverage
Ceiling insulation should extend far enough to the outside walls to cover the
bottom chord of the truss. However, insulation should not block eave vents in
attics because if the flow of air is blocked, moisture may build up in the attic and
water vapor may condense on the underside of the roof. This can cause structural
damage and reduce the insulation's effectiveness.
Insulation may be tapered near the eave, but it must be applied at a rate to cover
the entire ceiling at the specified level. An elevated truss is not required but may
be desirable. See Figure 3-8.
Loose Fill insulation
§150(b) Loose Fill Insulation
Loose fill insulation must be blown in evenly, and insulation levels must be
documented on the Installation Certificate (CF -6R). The insulation level can be

Insulation Mandatory Measures
verified by checking that the depth of insulation conforms to the manufacturer's
coverage chart for achieving the required R -value. The insulation must also meet
the manufacturer's specified minimum weight per ft2 for the corresponding R -
value. When installing loose fill insulation, the following guidelines should be
followed:
1. For wood trusses that provide a flat ceiling and a sloped roof, the
slope of the roof should be at about 4:12 or greater in order to
provide adequate access for installing the insulation. Insulation
thickness near the edge of the attic will be reduced with all
standard trusses, but this is acceptable as long as the average
thickness is adequate to meet the minimum insulation requirement.
2. If the ceiling is sloped (for instance, with scissor trusses), loose fill
insulation can be used as long as the slope of the ceiling is no
more than 4:12. If the ceiling slope is greater than 4:12, loose fill
should be used only if the insulation manufacturer will certify the
installation for the slope of the ceiling.
3. At the apex of the truss, a clearance of at least 30 inch should be
provided to facilitate installation and inspection.

Ventilation
Where ceiling insulation is installed next to eave or soffit vents, a rigid baffle
should be installed at the top plate to direct ventilation air up and over the ceiling
insulation. See Figure 3-9.The baffle should extend beyond the height of the
ceiling insulation and should have sufficient clearance between the baffle and roof
deck at the top. There are a number of acceptable methods for maintaining
ventilation air, including pre -formed baffles made of either paper or plastic. In
some cases, plywood baffles are used.
The CBC requires a minimum vent area of 1 fie for each 150 ft2 of attic floor area.
This ratio may be reduced to 1 to 300 if a ceiling vapor retarder is present or if
high (for example, ridge or gable vents) and low (soffit vents) attic ventilation is
used.
When part of the vent area is blocked by meshes or louvers, the net free area of
the vent must be considered when meeting ventilation requirements.
Wood Rafter Constructions
Ventilating solid rafter spaces is more difficult than ventilating attics because each
framing cavity requires its own vent openings. However, the requirement for
ventilation is at the discretion of the local building official. It is common practice
with cellulose insulation, for instance; to completely fill the cavity so that there is
no ventilation at all. Also, if spray polyurethane foam is used, it is applied to the
underside of the roof deck leaving no ventilation space. With batt insulation, it is
possible to ventilate above the insulation using eave baffles, ridge vents, and
careful installation.

Title 24 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards Residential Excerpt
Fenestration Mandatory Measures
3.2.2 Mandatory Measures
The Standards define three types of fenestration products that face different mandatory measures:
• Manufactured products are delivered pre -assembled from the factory
• Site -built products are glazed or assembled on site using factory prepared systems. The
contractor may also pre -assemble sit -built fenestration at his/her shop before final
installation. For unlabeled site -built fenestration use default values from Standards Table
116-A and 115-13, otherwise, select site build fenestration from NFRC's Certified Products
Directory.
• Site built products do not have a NFRC label and are constructed at the job site.
Air Leakage
Manufactured Fenestration Products
Manufactured fenestration products, including exterior doors, must be tested and certified to leak not
more than 0.3 cubic feet per minute (cfm) per ft2 of window area. The mandatory measure applies to
all manufactured windows whether they are used in new residential or nonresidential buildings.
Site -built Products: There are no specific air leakage requirements for site -built fenestration products,
the Standards require limiting air leakage through weatherstripping and caulking.
Field -fabricated Products: No testing is required for field -fabricated fenestration products, however,
the Standards require limiting air leakage through weatherstripping and caulking.
Exterior Door: Exterior doors must meet the following requirements:
• Manufactured exterior doors must be certified as meeting an air -leakage rate of 0.3 cmf/ft2 of
door area of §116(a)1, which is the same as windows.
• They must comply with the requirements of §117 (Joints and Other Openings) they must be
caulked and weatherstripped if field -fabricated.
• Any door that is more than one-half glass is a fenestration product and must comply with the
mandatory and prescriptive measures and other Standards requirements for fenestration
products.
U -factor and SHGC Ratings
Manufactured Fenestration Products: The mandatory measures require that both the U -factor and
SHGC of manufactured fenestration products must be determined from NFRC's Certified Products
Directory or from the Energy Commission approved default tables. At the time of inspection, the
actual fenestration U -factor and SHGC values as shown on the NFRC labels or in the default tables
must result in equal or lower overall energy consumption than the values indicated on the compliance
documents.

Title 24 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards Residential Excerpt
Fenestration Mandatory Measures
Temporary and Permanent Labels
Manufactured Fenestration Products. The Standards require that manufactured windows have both
temporary and permanent labels that show the NFRC performance characteristics. The temporary
label shows the U -factor and SHGC, for each rated window. The label must also show the window
meets the air infiltration criteria. The temporary label must not be removed before inspection by the
enforcement agency.
The permanent label must, at a minimum, identify the certifying organization and have a number or
code to allow tracking back to the original information on file with the certifying organization. The
permanent label also can be inscribed on the spacer, etched on the glass, engraved on the frame, or
otherwise located so as not to affect aesthetics.
Site -Built Fenestration Products. Labeling requirements apply to site -built fenestration products as
well, except that a label certificate may be provided in accordance with NFRC 100 in place of an
attached temporary label. The label certificate is a document that verifies the performance of the site -
built fenestration product but that is not physically attached by the product. The label certificate is
kept at the job site by the contractor for field inspection verification.
Field -Fabricated Fenestration Products. A label is not required for field -fabricated fenestration
products, but must use the default values in Table 116-A and Table 116-B from the Standards.

Lighting Mandatory Measures
Light Fixtures and Recessed Equipment
§150(k)5
Luminaires recessed in insulated ceilings can create thermal bridging through the
insulation. Not only does this degrade the performance of the ceiling assembly,
but it can also permit condensation on a cold surface of the luminaire if exposed
to moist air, as in a bathroom.
For these reasons, luminaires recessed in insulated ceilings must meet three
requirements:
1. They must be approved for zero clearance insulation cover (IC) by
Underwriters Laboratories or other testing/rating laboratories
recognized by the International Conference of Building Officials.
This enables insulation to be packed in direct contact with the
luminaire. (See Figure 3-10).
2. The luminaire must have a label certifying air tight (AT)
construction. Air tight construction means that leakage through the
luminaire will not exceed 2.0 cfm when exposed to a 75 Pa
pressure difference, when tested in accordance with ASTM E283.
3. The luminaire must be sealed with a gasket or caulk between the
housing and ceiling. For more information see Section 6.10 of this
manual.

Construction Phase Documentation -- CF -6R and CF -4R
Persons responsible for the installations must sign the applicable CF -6R to certify
that the installed features, materials, components, or manufactured devices
conform to Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations and Title 24 Building Energy
Efficiency Standards. The requirements on the plans and specifications should
match the CF -1 R documents approved by the local enforcement agency for the
building. The MF -1 R shall be on the plans to list the mandatory measures
required for the particular project.
The CF -6R must be posted at the job site in a conspicuous location (e.g., in the
garage) or kept with the building permit and made available to the enforcement
agency upon request.
When field verification and/or diagnostic testing of the feature is required for
compliance (as shown in the special features section of the CF -1 R), the builder
or the builder's subcontractor must perform field verification and diagnostic
testing of the installation to confirm and document compliance with the Standards
utilizing the applicable procedures specified in Reference Residential Appendix
RA3. A copy of the completed CF -6R must be provided to the HERS rater for
use during the HERS verification procedure.
When document registration is required, the builder, the builder's subcontractor,
or authorized representative must submit the CF -6R information to a HERS
provider data registry. When registration is required, all CF -6R information
submittals must be done electronically. HERS raters or other authorized users of
the HERS provider data registry shall be allowed to facilitate the
transmittal/submittal of the Installation Certificate information to the HERS
provider data registry website on behalf of the builder or the builder's
subcontractor when such facilitation has been authorized by the builder or
subcontractor. However, the builder or subcontractor responsible for the
installation shall still be required to sign/certify the completed Installation
Certificate (CF -6R) to confirm the accuracy of the information, and confirm that
the installation complies with the requirements shown on the Certificate of
Compliance (CF -1R) for the building. After submittal of the Installation Certificate
information to the HERS provider data registry, the builder or subcontractor must
access the registered Installation Certificate from the provider data registry,
submit an electronic certification/signature to the registry, or sign a copy of the
Installation Certificate accessed from the registry by the builder or
subcontractor's authorized representative, provide a copy of the completed,
signed and registered Installation Certificate to the HERS rater, and post a copy
of the completed signed registered Installation Certificate at the building site for
review by the enforcement agency in conjunction with requests for final
inspection for each dwelling unit. The registered copy submitted to the HERS
rater may be in paper or electronic format, except that if the builder or
subcontractor provides electronic certification/signature directly to the registry,
the HERS rater shall have access to a completed, signed and registered copy of
the Installation Certificate directly from the registry.

regulated energy features such as windows (fenestration), the air distribution
ducts and the HVAC equipment, the measures that affect building envelope
tightness, the lighting system, and the insulation.
The CF -6R must be signed by the licensed person responsible for the

information about the energy efficiency features installed in their home.
2.3.3 Field Verification and/or Diagnostic Testing Documentation (CF -411)
§90-403(a)5
Many of the prescriptive requirements and some of the measures that may be
used for compliance in the performance approach may require field verification
and/or diagnostic testing. This must be performed by a third -party inspector who
is specially trained and independent from the builder or general contractor. The
Energy Commission recognizes HERS raters for this purpose.
When field verification and/or diagnostic testing is required, the Certificate of
Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing (CF -4R) must be completed and
signed/certified by the HERS rater. The CF -4R documents include information
about the measurements and test results that were required to be performed.
The HERS rater must verify that the requirements for compliance credit have
been met.
The HERS rater must transmit the CF -4R information to a HERS provider data
registry. A registered CF -4R from the provider that has been signed/certified by
the rater is made available to the enforcement agency and to the builder when
HERS verification confirms compliance. The builder is ultimately responsible for
ensuring that the enforcement agency has received the CF -4R prior to the
occupancy permit or final inspection.
Raters shall provide a separate registered CF -4R form for each house the rater
determines has met the diagnostic requirements for compliance. The HERS rater
shall not sign a CF -4R form for a. house that does not have a CF -6R signed by
the installer. When registration is required, the HERS rater shall not sign a CF -4R
for a house that does not have a registered CF -6R that has been signed/certified
by the installer. If the building was approved as part of a sample group, the CF -
4R will include additional information that identifies whether the building was a
tested or -a "not tested" building from the sample group.

The HERS provider must maintain a database (data registry) that incorporates an
intemet website -based user interface that has sufficient functionality to
accommodate the needs of the authorized users of the data registry who must
participate in the administration of HERS compliance and building energy
standards enforcement activities. The data registry must receive and record
information input sufficient to identify and track measures that require HERS
verification in a specific dwelling, and must have the capability to determine
compliance based on the information from the results of applicable testing or
verification procedures reported as input to the registry for the dwelling. When
the requirements for compliance are met, the registry must make available a
unique "registered" certificate for use in complying with document submittal
requirements to enforcement agencies, builders, building owners, HERS raters,
and other interested parties. The data registry must have the capability to
facilitate electronic submittal of the registered ,certificates to an Energy
Commission document repository for retention of the certificates for use in
enforcement of the regulations.
The HERS provider must make available via phone or intemet communications
interface a way for building officials, builders, HERS raters, and other authorized
users of the provider data registry to verify the information displayed on copies of
the submitted Certificate(s). Refer to Reference Residential Appendices Section
RA2.4.2 for additional information describing the HERS provider's role and
responsibilities.

HERS Raters — Compliance Forms CF -4R
2.4.7 HERS Rater
The HERS rater is certified by an Energy Commission -approved HERS provider
to perform the field verification and diagnostic testing that may be required to
demonstrate and document compliance with the Standards. HERS raters receive
special training in diagnostic techniques and building science as part of the
HERS rater certification process administered by the HERS provider; thus HERS
raters are to be considered special inspectors by enforcement agencies and shall
demonstrate competence, to the satisfaction of the enforcement agency, to
conduct the required visual inspections and diagnostic testing of the regulated
energy efficiency features installed in the dwelling.
If the documentation author who produced the certificate of compliance
documentation for the dwelling is not an employee of the builder or
subcontractor, the documentation author for the dwelling may also act to perform
the responsibilities of a HERS rater, provided the documentation author has met
the requirements and has been certified as a HERS rater, and is associated with
one of the Energy Commission -approved HERS providers.
If requested to do so by the builder or subcontractor, the HERS rater may assist
the builder or subcontractor in transmitting/submitting the Installation Certificate
(CF -6R) information to the HERS provider for registration. However, the HERS
rater may not certify the information on an Installation Certificate. The builder or
subcontractor responsible for the installation must provide the Installation
Certificate certification/signature to confirm the information submitted to the
provider data registry, even if the HERS rater has assisted with transmittal of the
data. Refer to Reference Residential Appendix Section RA2.5 for more
information that describes these procedures for document registration for which
the HERS rater may assist the builder or subcontractor.
The HERS rater is responsible for conducting the field verification and diagnostic
testing of the installed special features when required by the Certificate of
Compliance (CF -'I R). The HERS rater must transmit the results of the field
verification and diagnostic testing to the HERS provider data registry. The HERS
rater must provide to the registry all information required to complete the
Certificate of Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing form, and must also
submit a certification/signature to the provider data registry. Whereupon, the
registry will make available registered copies of the Certificate of Field
Verification and Diagnostic Testing to the HERS rater, the builder, the
enforcement agency, and other authorized users of the HERS provider data
registry. Printed copies, electronic or scanned copies, and photocopies of the
completed, signed, registered Certificate of Field Verification and Diagnostic

Appendix I: Fan and Duct Sizing -Calculations -
The process for exhaust -only ventilation system design is to: (1) determine the minimum
amount of airflow required: (2) select a fan or multiple fans that are rated to provide ventilation
airflow that equals .or exceeds the minimum required; and (3) design and install a ventilation
duct system that meets the requirements of ASHRAE 62.2 Table 7.1.
(1.1) Whole -Building Ventilation Requirement Calculations
Equation 4.1a {from ASHRAE 62.2):
Qfan = 0.01 xAFloor + 7.5x(Nbl + 1)
Where:
Aft.., = conditioned floor area, ft2
Nbr number of bedrooms, not to be less than one
Qfan —ventilation airflow requirement = minimum fan airflow rating, (cfm)
Example:
2,500 sf CFA house with 5 bedrooms
Qfa,, = 0.01x2560 + 7.5x(5 + 1) = 70 cfm
(1.2) Local Ventilation Exhaust Requirement Calculations
This Minimum Best Practices Guide provides information for intermittent fan operation only
for local ventilation exhaust systems. The minimum airflow rates for intermittent local
ventilation exhaust are specified in Table 5.1 of ASHRAE 62.2. The required minimum
intermittent local ventilation exhaust airflow rate for bathrooms is 50 cfm. The minimum
intermittent ventilation .exhaust airflow rate for kitchens is 100 cfm.
(1.3) Prescriptive Duct Sizing Calculations

This table assumes -no elbows. Deduct 15 ft of allowable duct length for each tum, elbow, or fitting. Interpolation and
extrapolation in Table 7A is not allowed. -For fan rating values not listed, use the next higher value. This table is not
applicable for fan ratings> 125 cfm. .
NL = no limit on duct length of thissize.
X = not allowed, any length of duct of this size with assumed turns and fittings will exceed the rated pressure drop
(0.25 in w.g.).
Note: water gauge 4w.9). is the same as water column w.c.
a) Determine the duct material that will be used for the installation (smooth or flex). Duct sizing
will use the Table 7.1 columns under the selected type of duct.
b) Identify the fan rating(s) used to provide whole -building and local ventilation exhaust (cfm).
c) Select the column that corresponds to the required fan rating for the system. If the required
fan rating (airflow cfm) is not shown on the chart and falls between columns, use the next
' highest fan rating column for determining the duct length and diameter. The Table is not
applicable to fan ratings greater than 125 cfm.
d) Select the preferred duct diameter.to determine the corresponding maximum allowable duct
length from the fan rating column for each exhaust fan. For each tum, elbow or fitting in the
duct run, subtract 15 feet of length from 'the allowable duct length specified in the Table. If
the allowable. length of f• (straight) duct isnot-sufficient for the design, select the next Bigler
diameter of duct, 'anii d recalculate.the: aII6i uance'. An "NL" .in the table indicates that any
length of duct for that diameter is in compliance. ..
Examples:
Example 1: For 650 cfm fan'using 4V flex duct, the length can be a maximum of 70 feet (ft) of
straight duct without elbows.
Example 2: For an 80 cfm fan using 4" flex duct, •the length would .be limited to 3 ft of straight
duct without elbows.
Example 3: For the Equation 4.1a example shown above in Appendix 1, item 1.1, assume
smooth duct will be used, there will be 3 elbows, and there is 40 ft of straight duct required to
.run a duct from the fan to the exterior of.the :building: The determined fan rating (70 cfr �) is not
