COMPLIANCE REPORTS OVERVIEW
The comprehensive reporting facilities of MICROPAS provides you
with the proper documentation for nearly all compliance situations --
eliminating hand calculations, making the most of your time, and speeding
the plan checking process -- by providing clear, complete and concise
reports.
-
CF-1R REPORT: CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE
The CF-1R Report lists the energy features of the building in
general terms. It provides useful design information for the designer and
builder, and is checked by the building department during the field
inspection. The CF-1R Report must be signed by the appropriate parties and
attached to the building plans.
-
HVAC
SIZING CALCULATIONS
The MICROPAS HVAC Sizing Report shows the design loads for the heating and
cooling equipment. These loads are one of the criteria used to select HVAC
equipment for the residence.
-
MF-1R: MANDATORY FEATURES CHECKLIST
The MF-1R checklist documentation confirming that the building design
incorporates at least the minimum energy features as required by the state.
Although this checklist is primarily filled in by hand, it is printed by
MICROPAS in order that all compliance documentation is has a consistent
look.
-
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
Combines the results of the existing and
existing-plus-addition runs to determine compliance for additions and
alterations that do not comply without improvements to the existing home.
-
PRODUCTION
HOUSING
MICROPAS has the powerful capability of analyzing compliance for production
housing (subdivisions).
In order to be built in any compass orientation, production housing must be
shown to comply in the four cardinal directions (north, south, east and
west). MICROPAS automatically performs calculations for each of these
orientations and then summarizes the compliance results on a single CF-1R
page as shown on the left.
This feature uses only one building data file and thus saves the hassle of
maintaining four files as the building design is finalized. In addition, the
number of pages in the submittal is reduced by at least a factor of four by
eliminating the need for separate CF-1R reports for each
orientation.
-
FEDERAL TAX CREDIT
In February 2006, the
IRS
rules for the tax credits for energy efficient new construction available
under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 were released. A new home qualifies for
a $2000 tax credit to the builder if it is certified to have 50% lower
heating and cooling than the 2004 Supplement to the 2003 International
Energy Conservation Code (IECC). 10% of the savings must come from envelope
improvements.
