This compliance document is only applicable to additions 300fe or less, or additions that do not require HERS field verification for compliance. When HERS verification is required, a CFIR-ADD-01.
shall first be registered with a HERS Provider Data Registry.
Alterations to Space Conditioning Systems that are exempt from HERS verification requirements may use the CFIR-ADD-02 and CF2R- ADD -02 Compliance Documents. Possible exemptions from duct
leakage testing include: less than 40 ft of ducts were added or replaced; or the existing duct system was insulated with asbestos; or the existing duct system was previously tested and passed by a
HERS Rater. If space conditioning systems are altered and are not exempt from HERS verification, then a CFIR-ADD-01 must be completed and registered with a HERS Provider Data Registry.
Additions or alterations that utilize close Cell Spray Polyurethane Foam (ccSPF) with a density of 1.5 to less than 2.5 pounds per cubic foot having an R -value other than 5.8 per inch, or Open Cell
Spray Polyurethane Foam (ocSPF) with a density of 0.4 to less than 1.5 pounds per cubic foot having an R -value of 3.6 per inch, shall complete and register a CFIR ADD -01 with a HERS Provider Data
Registry.
If more than one person has responsibility for installation of the items on this certificate, each person shall prepare and sign a certificate applicable to the portion of construction for which they are
responsible. Alternatively, the person with chief responsibility for construction shall prepare and sign this certificate for the entire construction. All applicable Mandatory Measures shall be. met.
Temporary labels shall not be removed before verification by the building inspector.

2016 Low -Rise Residential Mandatory Measures Summary
NOTE: Low-rise residential buildings subject to the Energy Standards must comply with all applicable mandatory measures, regardless of the compliance approach
used. Review the respective section for more information. 'Exceptions may apply.
FOriains108/20161
Building Envelope Measures: '
Air Leakage. Manufactured fenestration, exterior doors, and exterior pet doors must limit air leakage to 0.3 cfm/ft' or less when tested per
NFRC-400 or ASTM E283 or AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-2011.'
§ 110.6(a)5:
Labeling. Fenestration products must have a label meeting the requirements of § 10-111(a).
§ 110.6(b):
Field fabricated exterior doors and fenestration products must use Ll -factors and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) values from TABLES
110.6-A and 110.6-B for compliance and must be caulked and/or weatherstried.'
§ 110.7:
Air Leakage. All joints, penetrations, and other openings in the building envelope that are potential sources of air leakage must be caulked,
asketed, or weather stripped.
§ 110.8(a):
Insulation Certification by Manufacturers. Insulation specified or installed must meet Standards for Insulating Material.
§ 110.8(g):
Insulation Requirements for Heated Slab Floors. Heated slab floors must be insulated per the requirements of § 110.8(g).
§ 110.8(1):
Roofing Products Solar Reflectance and Thermal Emittance. The thermal emittance and aged solar reflectance values of the roofing

Loose -fill Insulation. Loose fill insulation must meet the manufacturers required density for the labeled R -value.
Wall Insulation. Minimum R-13 insulation in 2x4 inch wood framing wall or have a U -factor of 0.102 or less (R-19 in 2x6 or U -factor of 0.074 or
§ 150.0(c):
less). Opaque non -framed assemblies must have an overall assembly LI -factor not exceeding 0.102, equivalent to an installed value of R-13 in a
