502.4. Air Leakage
— 2005 CBES and 2009 IECC: broad language
— 2011 CBES: Mandatory continuous air barrier
Air barrier compliance options
– Option 1: Materials
– Option 2: Assemblies
– Option 3: Building Test (0.31 cfm/ft2 of shell area @ 50 Pa)
Air Barrier penetrations-explicit language on air sealing
Fenestration air leakage table
Context
• Substantial part of joint DOE/NBI/AIA proposal to 2012 IECC
• Originally adapted from MA building code, so “field-tested”
and regionally appropriate
54
Building Envelope
502.4.7 Vestibules
1. Revised to reflect changes in proposed 2012 IECC
a. Utilizes new definition of “Building Entrance”
2. VT - specific:
a. If vestibule is tempered, max temperature setting of 55° F;
Cooling prohibited
b. If tempered, shall be constructed according to envelope
provisions
c. If tempered, thermostat shall be programmable and
inaccessible to public
Context
1. Improved language from model IECC codes
2. TAP recommended changes due to extensive issues with
energy use due to heating and cooling of vestibules
55
SECTION 503
BUILDING MECHANICAL
SYSTEMS
56
Building Mechanical Systems
Overview of changes due to 2009 IECC
• Revises equipment efficiency tables for water-chilling
packages; minimum equipment efficiencies changed
• Requires snow melt control
• Requires demand control ventilation (DCV) for certain spaces
• Removes exception for energy recovery ventilation for lab
fume hood systems ≤ 15,000 cfm
• Lowers the system capacity for economizer requirement for
most climate zones
• Introduces fan power limitations
• Introduces supply air temperature reset controls for multiplezone systems
57
Building Mechanical Systems
1. 503.1.2 Electric Resistance Space Heating
— Prohibition on electric resistance space heating
a. Carried over from 2005 VT CBES
2. 503.2.5 Ventilation
a. References ASHRAE 62.1-2007 rather than IMC
b. Added language emphasizing ventilation rates to be based
on expected occupancy levels versus default IMC /
ASHRAE 62.1 rates
Context
1. Important prohibition on electric resistance heating that has
worked for VT
2. Prevents designers from using worst-case ventilation rates
when better information is available
58
Building Mechanical Systems
503.2.5.2: Demand Controlled Ventilation
• 2005 CBES had no DCV requirement
• 2011 CBES (2009 IECC): DCV must be provided for each zone
with spaces > 500 ft² and average occupant load > 40 people / 1000
ft² of floor area where HVAC system has:
An air-side economizer, or
Automatic modulating control of outdoor air damper, or
Design outdoor airflow > 3,000 cfm
Demand control ventilation (DCV):
ventilation system capability that
provides for automatic reduction of
outdoor air intake below design
rates when actual occupancy of
spaces served by system is less than
design occupancy
59
Building Mechanical Systems
503.2.7: Duct and Plenum Insulation and Sealing
• 2005 CBES (Also 2009 IECC): Minimum R-5
(unconditioned space) and R-8 (outside building)
• 2011 CBES : “All supply and return ducts located in
unconditioned spaces shall be insulated to meet same Rvalue requirement that applies to immediately proximal
surfaces.”
Context: Altered to align with RBES
• Public comments raised to address this language
— Clarify
— Feasibility
60
Building Mechanical Systems
503.2.10: Systems Performance Verification and Completion
1. Buildings ≥ 50,000 SF
2. Requirements for independent, third-party
commissioning agents to perform basic functional
testing to verify efficient “as-designed” operation of
systems specified in other parts of code, limited to:
a. Economizers
b. VAV fan control
c. Part-load hydronic controls
FAIL
3. Prescriptive testing requirements
61
Building Mechanical Systems
503.2.10 Systems Performance Verification and Completion
(Continued)
Context
1. 2012 IECC dedicates separate chapter to commissioning (Cx)
requirements
2. Cx for buildings > 50K ft2 as starting point for code requirements
3. Current proposal provides testing ground for future Cx
requirements in VT, utilizing only large buildings
4. Feedback from use of 2012 IECC and VT requirements will be
helpful for next update of VT code
5. Performance verification should ensure systems comply with
code intent and operating at maximum energy efficiency
6. Performance verification improves building performance,
hopefully reduces contractor call-backs, issues
62
Building Mechanical Systems
Revised 503.3.1 Economizers and 503.4.1 Economizers (Complex
HVAC Systems)
1. Economizers required on all systems ≥ 54,000 Btu / h (2005 CBES ≥
65,000 Btu/h)
2. Defined allowable economizer sequences to align w/ASHRAE 90.1-2007
3. Clarified section 503.4.1 using improved language from 2012 IECC
proposals
a. Design Capacity
b. Maximum Pressure Drop
c. Integrated Economizer Control
Context
1. Matches 2009 IECC capacity threshold
2. Need to clarify 2005 VT CBES and Economizer sections in 2009 IECC
vague
3. National IECC code also using these changes to align w/ ASHRAE 90.1
63
Building Mechanical Systems
503.4.2 VAV Fan Control / 503.4.3 Hydronic Systems
Controls / 503.4.3.6
1. Added: 503.4.2.1 Static Pressure Sensor Location
language
2. Revised: 503.4.3.4 Hydronic variable flow systems
language
3. Added: 503.4.3.6 Chilled and Hot Water Temperature
Controls
Context
1. Language not in 2009 IECC but existed in ASHRAE
90.1-2007
2. Language taken from 90.1-2007
3. Language taken from 90.1-2007
64
SECTION 504
SERVICE WATER HEATING
65
Service Water Heating
504.1.1 Electrical Water Heating Limitation
Added: Electric service water heating units shall be limited
to a maximum of 5 kW total power input
Context: Carried over from 2005 VT CBESES
Yes, that is David Hasselhoff
66
SECTION 505
ELECTRICAL POWER AND
LIGHTING SYSTEMS
67
Electrical Power and Lighting
Major changes to electrical power / lighting due to 2009 IECC
• Adds high-efficacy lighting requirement for dwelling units
• Requires separate controls for daylight zones
• Allows for use of photocell in tandem with other controls on
certain exterior lighting applications
• Adds exempted lighting applications that can be excluded from
total connected interior lighting power calculations
• Revises additional lighting power allowance calculations for
retail areas
• Creates four exterior lighting zones based on lighting need

Electrical Power and Lighting
Interior Lighting Power Allowances
1. Building Area Method and Space by space Method included
2. LPD values taken from proposed 2012 IECC values
Context
1. 2005 VT CBES contained both methods but 2009 IECC still
only used Building Area Method
a. 2012 IECC will have both methods
2. 2005 VT CBES values identical to 2009 IECC
a. 2012 IECC values include revised categories, higher
efficiency for certain categories, and scaled back values for
others
b. 2011 VT CBES will be aligned with 2012 IECC and
ASHRAE 90.1-2010
