Ec 1 Form PDF Details

In New Hampshire, navigating the complexities of energy compliance for new construction, additions, and renovations requires a rigorous process, encapsulated by the Residential Energy Code Application for Certification of Compliance, known as the EC-1 Form. Introduced on April 1, 2010, this form serves as a vital tool for ensuring that residential and small commercial constructions adhere to the state's energy conservation standards. By mandating specific information on the owner, general contractor, and the proposed structure's specifics, including location, type of construction, and energy-related details like heating systems, insulation, and air sealing techniques, the form ensures a comprehensive review process. Moreover, it outlines requirements for different types of constructions, including modular homes, and specifies how to prove compliance through either traditional calculations or through software like REScheck. Notably, the form extends beyond merely assessing energy efficiency metrics, providing guidance on air barrier and insulation inspection criteria and stressing the importance of materials and construction methods that align with New Hampshire’s energy code. As such, the EC-1 Form embodies a critical component of the state's efforts to foster energy-efficient construction practices, demanding thoroughness and accuracy from applicants while offering a pathway towards compliance through detailed specifications and options for demonstrating energy conservation achievements.

New Hampshire Energy Code EC-1

Certification No.:

Code effective April, 2010

Directions: Complete the “Your Proposed Structure” columns. No measurements or calculations are needed. If you at least meet the New Hampshire Energy Code requirements, your project will be approved. Write N/A in any section that does not apply to your project. Submit pages 1 and 2 only. If your planned structure cannot meet these requirements, consider downloading REScheck from http://www.energycodes.gov/rescheck/download.stm and use trade-offs to prove compliance.

You are encouraged to build with higher R-values and lower U-values than you report here. The “Required R or U Values” are the worst permitted in NH.

Footnotes to Residential Energy Code Application for Certification of Compliance

iCeilings with attic spaces: R-30 in Zone 5 or R-38 in Zone 6 will be deemed to satisfy the requirement for R-38 or R-49 respectively wherever the full height of uncompressed R-30 or R-38 insulation extends over the wall top plate at the eaves or the full R-value is maintained. This is accomplished by using a raised heel or energy truss as shown in the diagram below or by using higher R-value insulation over the plates.

iiR-13 + R-5 means R-13 cavity insulation plus R-5 insulated sheathing. If structural sheathing covers 25 percent or less of the exterior, R-5 sheathing is not required where the structural sheathing is placed. If structural sheathing covers more than 25 percent of exterior, the structural sheathing must be supplemented with insulated sheathing of at least R-2.

iiiSlab edge insulation must start at the top of the slab edge and extend a total of two (Zone 5) or four feet (Zone 6). Insulation may go straight down, out at an angle away from the building, or along the slab edge and then under the slab. A slab is a concrete floor within 1’ of grade level. See diagram below.

The top edge of insulation installed between the exterior wall and the interior slab may be mitered at a 45 degree angle away from the exterior wall.

Allowable Slab I nsulat ion Configurat ions

A or A+ B must equal two feet in Zone 5 or four feet in Zone 6

MODULAR HOMES must be certified by the NH Department of Safety. Unless the floor insulation is provided by the manufacturer this form must be submitted. This form must also be submitted if the basement is to be insulated or supplementary heated space is added to the home upon or after it is set.

This form will need specific details; in order to ensure consistency, you need to heed the guidelines further down:

1. First of all, while filling in the residential energy code compliance form, beging with the area that has the subsequent fields:

Completing section 1 of nh energy code

2. Right after the first part is filled out, go to enter the applicable information in these - Heating System if new system is, Structure is EXEMPT because, Mobile Home On an historic, Type of Construction Residential, Walk Out Basement Other, Full Basement Slab on Grade Form, I hereby certify that all the, Construction, Signature Print Name Date, Official Use Only Date Complete, and Stamp RRR eee aaa sss ooo nnn.

Heating System if new system is, Signature Print Name Date, and I hereby certify that all the in nh energy code

3. This third step is typically relatively simple, New Hampshire Energy Code EC, Certification No, Directions Complete the Your, You are encouraged to build with, YOUR PROPOSED STRUCTURE, Code effective April, Building Section, Required R or U Values, Write Planned R and U Values Write, Write in RValue, If using only R in Zone or R in, Brands Models insulation type and, thickness if known, Window Type Lowe Lowe Argon, and NOTE R will be deemed to satisfy - each one of these fields must be filled out here.

Stage number 3 for submitting nh energy code

4. This particular part comes with the following empty form fields to look at: If using only R in Zone or R in, Write in RValue, NOTE R will be deemed to satisfy, Check if Sunroom, Write in RValue, Log walls must comply with ICC, average minimum wall thickness of, meet all other energy code, Check if Sunroom Log Walls, Write in UValue, Write in RValue, Write in RValue, If conditioning the basement you, Write in RValue, and Blower Door Visual Inspect.

Write in RValue, meet all other energy code, and Log walls must comply with ICC inside nh energy code

5. The very last notch to complete this PDF form is essential. You'll want to fill out the necessary fields, like By checking this box I certify, Submit pages and to NH Public, and EC Form page, before finalizing. Failing to do this could produce an unfinished and potentially unacceptable form!

nh energy code writing process clarified (portion 5)

As to Submit pages and to NH Public and By checking this box I certify, be certain you don't make any mistakes here. The two of these are considered the key ones in this document.

Step 3: Before moving forward, you should make sure that all blanks have been filled out properly. As soon as you believe it's all good, press “Done."
