  1. Under IECC 2021, what is the minimum continuous air barrier requirement for commercial buildings regarding tested leakage?

    Answer: 0.25 cfm/ft² at 75 Pa

    IECC 2021 requires commercial buildings to achieve an air leakage rate no greater than 0.25 cfm/ft² at a pressure differential of 75 Pa.

  2. Which ICC certification specifically covers energy inspection in residential construction projects?

    Answer: Residential Energy Inspector/Plans Examiner (REIPE)

    The ICC Residential Energy Inspector/Plans Examiner (REIPE) credential covers energy code compliance for residential construction.

  3. In ASHRAE 90.1, what is the primary method used to establish a baseline building model for the Energy Cost Budget path?

    Answer: Appendix G Performance Rating Method

    Appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1 defines the Performance Rating Method and provides the baseline building model rules for the Energy Cost Budget compliance path.

  4. A building's solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) requirement is MOST directly related to which climate characteristic?

    Answer: Annual cooling degree days

    SHGC limits are driven primarily by cooling load potential, which correlates with annual cooling degree days in a given climate zone.

  5. Which section of the IECC addresses the commissioning requirements for commercial mechanical systems?

    Answer: Section C408

    IECC Section C408 outlines the systems commissioning and completion requirements for commercial HVAC, lighting, and other mechanical systems.

    Answer: EnergyPlus

    EnergyPlus is one of the DOE-validated whole-building energy simulation programs approved for use under ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G compliance.

  7. Under the IECC 2021 residential provisions, the maximum fenestration U-factor for Climate Zone 5 is:

    Answer: 0.30

    IECC 2021 Table R402.1.2 specifies a maximum fenestration U-factor of 0.30 for Climate Zone 5 residential buildings.
