register.
  N1101.2  Compliance.  Compliance with the code  shall  be  demonstrated  by 
meeting the requirements of the applicable sections and tables of the code.   
Where applicable, provisions  are  based  on  the  climate  zones  where  the 
building is located.  The climate zone assignments are as set forth in  table 
N1101.2 for the county in which the  building  is  constructed.   The  permit 
applicant shall determine the method used  to  achieve  compliance  with  the 
provisions of the code at the time of application for permit.
  N1101.2.1   Detached  1-and-2  family  dwellings.   Compliance   shall   be 
demonstrated by 1 of the following:
  1.  Meeting the requirements of the code.
  2.  Meeting the requirements of the International Energy Conservation  Code 
for detached 1- and 2-family dwellings.
  3.  Meeting the design, construction and certification  requirements  under 
the US EPA Energy Star Homes Program ®. 
  4.  Meeting the design and construction requirements  in  conformance  with

For reduced ACH levels, documentation of a post-construction blower-door test shall be provided to the code official. 4. A simplified heating degree day (HDD) approach for the appropriate zone, as follows: a. Zone 1 6900 HDD. b. Zone 2 7800 HDD. c. Zone 3 9300 HDD. Exception: The typical meteorological year (TMY), or its ersatz equivalent, from the national oceanic and atmospheric administration (NOAA) or an approved equivalent, for the closest available location, may be used for the proposed alternative design. N1105.1.2 Analysis method. The analysis methodology or calculation tool used for comparison of the heating energy usage of the standard and the proposed alternative building design shall be the same. N1105.1.3 Analysis Report. A heating energy analysis comparison shall be submitted to the code official including all of the following information: a. The design criteria used to develop the standard design and the proposed alternative design. b. A detailed technical comparison of the 2 building and system designs. c. The data used in, and resulting from, the comparative analysis to verify that both the analysis and the design meet the criteria of this section and sections N1105.1 to N1105.2. History: 1998-2000 AACS; 2008 AACS. Editor's note: The rules were filed on December 16, 2004, with an effective date of March 28, 2005; however, a preliminary injunction was placed in effect on February 28, 2005 and dissolved on October 24, 2008, thereby delaying the effective date of the rules until October 24, 2008. R 408.31069 Renewable energy source analysis. Rule 1069. Section N1106.1 is added to the code to read as follows: N1106.1 Renewable energy source analysis. A building designed to use a renewable energy source for all or part of its energy source shall be designed and constructed in compliance with the requirements of this section. Exception: The renewable energy may be excluded from the total heating energy consumption allowed for the building. a. The renewable energy shall be derived from a specific collection, storage, or distribution system. b. The heating energy derived from renewable sources and the reduction in conventional heating energy requirements shall be separately identified from the overall building energy use. c. Supporting documentation on the basis of the performance estimates for the renewable energy sources shall be submitted to the code official. History: 2008 AACS. Editor's note: The rules were filed on December 16, 2004, with an effective date of March 28, 2005; however, a preliminary injunction was placed in effect on February 28, 2005 and dissolved on October 24, 2008, thereby delaying the effective date of the rules until October 24, 2008. R 408.31070 Heating energy analysis comparison report. Rule 1070. Sections N1107.1, N1107.1.1, N1107.2, abbreviated report form N1107.1, and table N1107.1 are added to the code to read as follows: N1107.1 Heating energy analysis comparison report. A heating energy comparison report shall be submitted to the code official to include both of the following information: 1. A basic description of the proposed alternate building design and any exceptions to the standard design criteria. 2. Abbreviated report form N1107.1, comparing the alternative house design with a standard design house complying with the provisions of this chapter through the systems analysis method. N1107.2 Compliance. The proposed alternative design shall be determined to be in compliance when the proposed alternative house A/R total (line 14 or line 17 of abbreviated report form N1107.1) is less than or equal to the standard design house (line I or line L of abbreviated report form N1107.1).
