The basic thrust of these standards is as follows: A building that is heated or cooled for comfort purposes shall be designed to restrict the flow of heat through the building exterior envelope. Windows shall be designed to limit air leakage into or from the building. The air infiltration rate of aluminum, steel., or wood windows shall not exceed the rates specified in applicable national and industry standards. The heat flow through opaque surface areas of roof/ceilings or walls facing cooled interiors shall not exceed 2.5 BTU per hour- ft2 of ceiling or wall area when calculated at an indoor design temperature of 78 F. The heat gain through window areas of the exterior envelope shall be controlled in relation to the geographic location and the compass orientation of the building. Plain glass without a shading device is not permitted; shades, venetian blinds, draperies, awnings, eyebrow reveals, or vertical/horizontal fins must be used. Manufacturers of building equipment defined as energy -significant equipment shall make available to prospective building owners or their representatives the full -Load energy -utilization efficiency of such equipment, taken by itself.
