This appendix includes blank copies of the Residential Compliance Forms. Compliance documentation is completed at the Building Permit Phase, the Construction Phase, and the Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing Phase. The forms and documents submitted at each of these phases are described below.
Building Permit Phase Documentation
The Standards Section 10-103(a) requires that a certificate of compliance be included on the plans when the performance approach is used. If the performance approach is utilized for compliance, the CF-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 New Construction (CF-1R)
The CF-1R summarizes the minimum energy performance specifications needed for new construction compliance, including HVAC capacity and the results of the heating and cooling load calculations need to be to be attached. The Standards require that a certificate of compliance be included on the plans. CEC approved Performance ACM software automatically generates CF-1R forms, which vary in some respects from the prescriptive CF-1R forms.
Certificate of Compliance - Residential Additions (CF-1R-ADD)
The CF-1R-ADD summarizes the minimum energy performance specifications needed to demonstrate compliance for an addition to a dwelling, including HVAC capacity and the results of the heating and cooling load calculations which are required to be attached. The Standards require that a certificate of compliance be included on the plans. CEC approved performance ACM software automatically generates CF-1R forms, which vary in some respects from the prescriptive CF-1R forms.
Certificate of Compliance - Residential Alterations (CF-1R-ALT)
The CF-1R-ALT summarizes the minimum energy performance specifications needed for an alteration to an existing dwelling, including HVAC capacity and the results of the heating and cooling load calculations need to be attached. The Standards require that a certificate of compliance be included on the plans. CEC approved performance ACM software automatically generates CF-1R forms, which vary in some respects from the prescriptive CF-1R forms.
Mandatory Measures List (MF-1R)
This document is applicable for both prescriptive and performance compliance. This reference list must be part of the building plans to help builders and inspectors reference applicable mandatory measures in the Standards.
Solar Water Heating Calculation (CF-SR)
This form is used to calculate the percent of domestic water heating that is supplied by solar water heating. The form is used to 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. This form is only available in electronic (Excel) format. Contact the Energy Commission Hotline for more information on how to access this calculation sheet.
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.
