Overview
This appendix includes blank copies of the Residential Compliance Forms.
Compliance documentation is completed at the building permit phase, the
construction phase, and the testing and verification phase. The
forms and documents submitted at each of these phases are described below.
Building Permit Phase
Documentation
When the performance approach is used, the CF-1R and MF-1R forms are
produced by the compliance software. Thermal Mass and Solar Heat
Gain Coefficient calculations are performed internally by the software.
Certificate of
Compliance - Residential (CF-1R)
The CF-1R summarized the minimum energy performance specifications needed
for compliance, including the results of the heating and cooling load
calculations. The Standards require that a certificate of compliance
be included on the plans (CEC approved performance ACM software
automatically generates CF-1R forms, which very in some respects from the
prescriptive CF-1R forms).
Solar Water Heating
Calculation Form (CF-SR)
SF-5 Form. This form is used to calculate the percent of domestic
water heating that is supplied by solar water heating. The form is
used to either calculate the percent of solar contributed by tested solar
system. All system or collector data must be based on the OG-300
test methods of the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation.
Mandatory Measures
Checklist (MF-1R)
This document is applicable for both prescriptive and performance
compliance.
Thermal Mass Worksheet
(WS-1R)
This worksheet is completed by the documentation author when complying
with the prescriptive requirements of Package C.
Area Weighted Average
Calculation Worksheet (WS-2R)
This worksheet is used to calculate weight-averaged U-factors for
prescriptive envelope compliance.
Solar Heat Gain
Coefficient (SGHC) Worksheet (WS-3R)
This worksheet is completed by the documentation author when complying
with the prescriptive requirements.
Fenestration - Maximum
Allowed Worksheet (WS-4R)
This worksheet is completed by the documentation author when complying
with maximum allowance fenestration when complying with the prescriptive
requirements. See Table 151-B and 151-C.
Residential Kitchen
Lighting Worksheet (WS-5R)
This worksheet is completed to determine if kitchen lighting complies with
Standards requirements.
Filed Verification and/or
Diagnostic Testing Documentation
Certificate of Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing (CF-4R)
This document is completed by the HERS rater when field verification
and/or diagnostic testing is required. These documents include
information about the measurements and tests that were performed.
The HERS rater verifies that the requirements for compliance credit have
been met. Copies of the CF-4R should be provided to the Builder,
HERS Provider and Building Department with a wet signature for every home
taking the HERS credit.
Construction Phase
Documentation
Installation Certificate (CF-6R)
The CF-6R is a set of documents completed by different contractors
responsible for installing the water heating equipment, the windows
(fenestration), the air distribution ducts and HVAC equipment, the
measures that affect building envelope tightness, the lighting system, and
the insulation. This includes the Insulation Certificate (Formerly
the IC-1) which is completed by the insulation contractor.
