Chapter 1. 1 RE Energy Efficiency, IRC 2. The following words and terms shall, for the purposes of this chapter, have the meanings shown herein. ABOVE GRADE WALL. A wall more than 5. This includes between floor spandrels, peripheral edges of floors, roof and basement knee walls, dormer walls, gable end walls, walls enclosing a mansard roof and skylight shafts. ACCESSIBLE. Admitting close approach as a result of not being guarded by locked doors, elevation or other effective means see Readily accessible. ADDITION. An extension or increase in the conditioned space floor area or height of a building or structure. AIR BARRIER. Materials assembled and joined together to provide a barrier to air leakage through the building envelope. An air barrier may be a single material or a combination of materials.

ALTERATION. Any construction, retrofit or renovation to an existing structure other than repair or addition that requires a permit. Also, a change in a building, electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system that involves an extension, addition or change to the arrangement, type or purpose of the original installation that requires a permit. AUTOMATIC. Self acting, operating by its own mechanism when actuated by some impersonal influence, as, for example, a change in current strength, pressure, temperature or mechanical configuration see Manual. BASEMENT WALL. A wall 5. BUILDING. Any structure used or intended for supporting or sheltering any use or occupancy, including any mechanical systems, service water heating systems and electric power and lighting systems located on the building site and supporting the building. BUILDING SITE. A continguous area of land that is under the ownership or control of one entity. BUILDING THERMAL ENVELOPE. The basement walls, exterior walls, floor, roof and any other building elements that enclose conditioned space or provide a boundary between conditioned space and exempt or unconditioned space. C FACTOR THERMAL CONDUCTANCE. The coefficient of heat transmission surface to surface through a building component or assembly, equal to the time rate of heat flow per unit area and the unit temperature difference between the warm side and cold side surfaces Btuh ft. F Wm. 2 K. CIRCULATING HOT WATER SYSTEM. A specifically designed water distribution system where one or more pumps are operated in the service hot water piping to circulate heated water from the water heating equipment to fixtures and back to the water heating equipment. CLIMATE ZONE. A geographical region based on climatic criteria as specified in this code. CONDITIONED FLOOR AREA. The horizontal projection of the floors associated with the conditioned space. CONDITIONED SPACE. An area, room or space that is enclosed within the building thermal envelope and that is directly heated or cooled or indirectly heated or cooled. Spaces are indirectly heated or cooled where they communicate through openings with conditioned spaces, where they are separated from conditioned spaces by uninsulated walls, floors or ceilings, or where they contain uninsulated ducts, piping or other sources of heating or cooling. CONTINUOUS AIR BARRIER. A combination of materials and assemblies that restrict or prevent the passage of air through the building thermal envelope. CONTINUOUS INSULATION ci. Insulating material that is continuous across all structural members without thermal bridges other than fasteners and service openings. It is installed on the interior or exterior, or is integral to any opaque surface, of the building envelope. CRAWL SPACE WALL. The opaque portion of a wall that encloses a crawl space and is partially or totally below grade. CURTAIN WALL. Fenestration products used to create an external nonload bearing wall that is designed to separate the exterior and interior environments. DEMAND RECIRCULATION WATER SYSTEM. A water distribution system where pumps prime the service hot water piping with heated water upon demand for hot water. DUCT. A tube or conduit utilized for conveying air. The air passages of self contained systems are not to be construed as air ducts. DUCT SYSTEM. A continuous passageway for the transmission of air that, in addition to ducts, includes duct fittings, dampers, plenums, fans and accessory air handling equipment and appliances. ENERGY ANALYSIS. A method for estimating the annual energy use of the proposed design and standard reference design based on estimates of energy use. ENERGY COST. The total estimated annual cost for purchased energy for the building functions regulated by this code, including applicable demand charges. Microsoft Security Essentials 2011. Sample Device Master File'>Sample Device Master File. ENERGY SIMULATION TOOL. An approved software program or calculation based methodology that projects the annual energy use of a building. ERI REFERENCE DESIGN. A version of the rated design that meets the minimum requirements of the 2. International Energy Conservation Code. EXTERIOR WALL. Walls including both above grade walls and basement walls. Descargar Windows Vista Ultimate 1 Link Comprimido more. FENESTRATION. Products classified as either vertical fenestration or skylights. FENESTRATION PRODUCT, SITE BUILT. A fenestration designed to be made up of field glazed or field assembled units using specific factory cut or otherwise factory formed framing and glazing units. Examples of site built fenestration include storefront systems, curtain walls, and atrium roof systems. FENESTRATION, VERTICAL. Windows fixed or moveable, opaque doors, glazed doors, glazed block and combination opaqueglazed doors composed of glass or other transparent or translucent glazing materials and installed at a slope of a least 6.
