information before releasing this building permit for issuance:
LIST OF EST
L. Reading through the submitted blueprints and details, it is not clear what ENERGY COMPLIANCE PATH
is chosen for this home design?
lf you are intending to design the home using 2015 IECC Table R402.1..2 and the PRESCRIPTIVE PATH,
we would like to obtain that statement in writing.
lf you are intending to design the home using 2015 IECC and RESCheck software Table R4A2.L.4.
PRESCRIPTIVE PATH, we would like to obta¡n that statement in writing along with the accompanying
RESCheck Report(s).
lf you are intending to design the home using 2015 IECC and PERFORMANCE PATH with ERI index
software or a HERSRater, we will need that statement in writing along with the HERSRater report.
Plans must clearly state the chosen energy path, so that it is clear to building inspectors, as well as the
owner builder and their window, door, insulation suppliers when at the job site.
2.itectural Sheet A1.0 Building Code Analysis lists the 2015 IECC and 20L5 IGCC, however Garfield
County has adopted the 2018 lnternational Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and does not enforce nor
has adopted
any sections of the 2015 lnternational Green Construction Code.
We ask Sheet 4L.0 be resubmitted referencing the currently adopted 2018 lnternational Energy
Conservation Code (IECC), and recommend further referencing the job site in Garfield County is located
in CLIMATE ZONE 58.
When the septic engineer was preparing the design for the onsite wastewater treatment system, did
they also perform a preliminary test observations for the proposed building foundation location?
No preliminary soils investigation report by a geotechnical engineer was included in the building
application materials, if there is an available report we'd like to read a copy of the findings and scan it
into the building file record.
Please advise lF there is an existing geotechnical engineers report available?
