This compliance document is only applicable to simple alterations that do not require HERS verification for compliance. When HERS verification is
required, a CF1R-ALT-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 CF1R-ALT-05 and CF2R- ALT-05
Compliance Documents. Possible exemptions from duct leakage testing include: less than 25 feet (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 CF1R-ALT-02 must be completed and registered with a HERS
Provider Data Registry.
Alterations that utilize closed cell Spray Polyurethane Foam (ccSPF) with a density of 1.5 to less than 2.5 pounds per cubic foot having an R -value
greater 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 cub ic foot having an R-
value of 3.6 per inch, shall complete and register a CF1R-ALT-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 s ign 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 me t. Temporary labels shall not be

C. Roof Replacement (Prescriptive Alteration, Section 150.2(b)1H)
When 50% or more of the roof is being replaced the roofing requirements are triggered. Any areas of roof covered by building integrated
photovoltaic panels and solar thermal panels are exempt, but the area of roof not covered by photovoltaic panels would still need to meet any
applicable cool roof requirements. Additionally, there are many alternatives/exceptions to when a cool roof is required.
When the roof is steep-sloped (pitch greater than or equal to 2:12) the roof requirements include a cool roof in climate zones 4 and 8-15. The
minimum requirement is 0.20 Aged Solar Reflectance, 0.75 Thermal Emittance, or a minimum SRI of 16.
1. Method of Compliance: Indicate if the method of compliance is going to be based on Aged Solar Reflectance and Thermal Emittance , the
Solar Reflectance Index (SRI), or an Exception.
2. Roof Pitch: Expressed as 4:12, for example, which means the roof rises 4 fo ot within a span of 12 feet. When roofs have multiple pitches the
requirements are based on the pitch of 50 percent or more of the roof.
3. Exception: If meeting one of the exceptions. Indicate which exception is, or will be, met.
EXCEPTIONS AND ALTERNATIVES FOR STEEP SLOPE ROOFS:
(a) Mass roof 25 pounds per square foot (lbs/ft2) or greater (uncommon situation such as sod roof);
(b) Roof has ceiling assemblies with a U-factor less than or equal to 0.025 or R-38 insulation;
(c) Roof has a radiant barrier not installed directly above spaced sheathing meeting 150.1(c)2;
(d) Nin Climate Zones 2. 4. 9. 10, 12 and 14, no ducts are installed in the attic; or
(e) R-2 continuous insulation above the roof deck.
In climate zones 4 and 6-15, when there is a low-sloped roof (pitch less than 2:12) the cool roof requirements are for a minimum Aged Solar
Reflectance of 0.63, a minimum 0.75 Thermal Emittance, or a minimum SRI of 75.
EXCEPTIONS AND ALTERNATIVES FOR LOW SLOPE ROOFS:
(a) Mass roof 25 pounds per square foot (lbs/ft2) or greater (uncommon situation such as sod roof);
(b) No ducts are installed in the attic; or
(c) Roof deck installation trade off—by installing roof deck insulation, a lower aged solar reflectance is required: In Climate Zones 6 and 7 R -2
(0.60), R-4 (0.55), R-6 (0.50), R-8 (0.45), R-10 (no requirement); In Climate Zones 2, 4 and 8-15 R-16 (0.60), R-18 (0.55), R-20 (0.50), R-24 (no
requirement).

The Alteration and Fenestration Type will affect how the standards apply and whether the fenestration area is limited. Percentages are determined
as Conditioned Floor Area (CFA) x 0.20 = total square footage (ft2) of fenestration allowed (20 percent). Depending on the climate zone, if west-
facing fenestration is limited (in climate zones 2, 4, 6-15), it is limited to a maximum of 5 percent. The overall total fenestration area is limited to 20
percent, not 25 percent. Fenestration areas are expressed in square feet, not square inches.

1. Tag/ID: A label (if any) from the plans, such as W1.
2. Fenestration Type: Indicate the type of fenestration construction (e.g., Fixed Window, Operable Window, or Skylight).
NOTE: Doors with glazing are counted in one of two ways. A door with 25 percent or more glazing is considered a glazed door and is
counted as the entire door area. A door with less than 25 percent glazing can be counted as the entire door area or can be
calculated as the actual glass area with a 2-inch (0.17 ft2) frame all around.
3. Frame Type: Metal, metal thermal break, or nonmetal.
4. Dynamic Glazing: Indicate if the fenestration has integrated shading device, chromogenic glazing or none for no dynamic Gla zing.
NOTE: Chromogenic glazing shall be considered separately from other fenestration types.
5. Orientation (North, East, South, West): The definitions in the Energy Standards include these specific details -
• North is oriented to within 45 degrees of true north, including 45 degrees east of north;
• East is oriented to within 45 degrees of true east, including 45 degrees south of east;
• South is oriented to within 45 degrees of true south, including 45 degrees west of south;
• West is oriented to within 45 degrees of true west, including 45 degrees north of west.
NOTE: Skylights in a roof pitch greater than 1:12 can be included as facing the same orientation as that portion of the roof angle. If the
skylight is in a roof with a pitch less than 1:12, the skylight is assumed to face west.
