Chapter 53 to such code, which said chapter reads as follows:
ENERGY CONSERVATION AND
THERMAL INSULATION
Section 5301 Purpose. This section encourages minimum
fossil fuel consumption by establishing minimum thermal
insulation standards for all occupancies and the use of
innovative energy conservation techniques in buildings.
Section 5302 Application and Scope. This section shall
apply to all buildings and structures in use - Groups A
(assembly), E (educational), I (institutional), B (business)
and R-1 (hotels and apartments).
Section 5303 Definitions. For the purpose of this
section, the following definitions shall apply:
"ASHRAE" is the American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers.
"Degree day" is a unit, based upon temperature
difference and time, used in estimating fuel consumption
and specifying nominal heating load of a building in
winter. For any one day, when the mean temperature
is less than sixty-five (65) degrees Fahrenheit, there
exist as many degree days as there are Fahrenheit degrees
difference in temperature between the mean temperature
for the day and sixty-five (65) degrees Fahrenheit.
"Glazing" is all transparent or translucent materials
in exterior openings.
"Exterior wall area" is the gross area of wall
surfaces adjacent to heated spaces, including glazing
and doors, exposed to ambient climatic temperatures
measured for a dwelling unit or group of units served
by a heating system.
"Infiltration" is air flowing inward as through
a wall, crack, etc.
"Special glazing" is glazing which has a minimum
U factor of .07 for all glazed surfaces.
"Thermal conductivity (K factor)" is the time rate
of heat flow through one square foot of homogeneous
material one inch thick when there is a temperature
difference of one degree Fahrenheit between the opposite
faces of material expressed in Btu/hour, square foot,
degree Fahrenheit per inch.
"Thermal resistance (R)" is the measure of the
resistance of a material or building component to the
passage of heat. The resistance value (R) of mass-type
insulations shall not include any value for reflective
facing.
"Transmissivity" is the capacity of a material to
transmit radiant energy.
"U factor" is the total heat flow through a given
construction assembly, air to air, expressed in Btu/hour,
per square foot, per degree Fahrenheit temperature
difference.
-10-
U = I
Rt
where Rt equals the sum of the resistance (R) for the
individual components of the assembly, U factors shall
be calculated according to ASHRAE methods.
"Unheated spaces" are any spaces exposed to ambient
temperatures and not provided with a heat supply capable
of maintaining a minimum temperature of forty-five (45)
degrees Fahrenheit.
