7 Part II - Compliance Paths In addition to the mandatory requirements, the energy code requires you to choose one of three alternative compliance paths to demonstrate code compliance. Indicate the path you choose below by checking one of the following boxes and completing the instructions. Prescriptive (as prescribed by the code) If you choose to use the prescriptive method of compliance, you may demonstrate compliance by completing the attached Prescriptive Compliance Report Form. Sign the compliance statement below and attach a copy of the completed Prescriptive Compliance Report Form along with this form when submitting for a building permit. Total UA Alternative (trade-off method) Compliance with the Total UA Alternative method may be demonstrated by completing a compliance report using REScheck software provided free of charge at energycodes.gov. Sign the compliance statement below and attach a copy of the completed compliance report with this form when submitting for a building permit. Please note that the building plans shall show the same materials and methods you use to complete the REScheck form. For example, if you use basement wall insulation in REScheck, such insulation should be clearly indicated on the building plans too. Simulated Performance Alternative (performance analysis) Certain commercially available compliance software (e.g. REM/RATE, etc.) may be used to demonstrate that the proposed construction will have an annual energy cost that is less than or equal to the energy cost of the standard reference design. Please see Section 405 of the code for specific criteria. Such software shall generate a compliance report that documents that the proposed design complies and shall include information outlined in Section Sign the compliance statement below and attach a copy of the completed compliance report with this form when submitting for a building permit. Part III - Compliance Statement I have read and completed the above form and will insure that the actual construction complies with the Michigan Uniform Energy Code.

8 In the table below, indicate the proposed values of insulation, fenestration and other components in your proposed home. Please note that such components shall meet or exceed the performance of the prescribed values. If you have any clarifications, please note them in the comment section. Finally, the building plans shall show the same materials and methods you use to complete this form. Component Description Prescribed Value Fenestration U-Factor 0.35 Skylight U-Factor Ceiling R-Value 38 Wood Frame R-Value 20 or Mass Wall R-Value 3 13/17 Floor R-Value 30 4 Basement Wall R-Value 5 10/13 Proposed Value Comment Slab R-Value & Depth 6 10, 2 feet Crawl Space Wall R-Value 10/13 Attic supply ducts R-Value 8 Other supply ducts R-Value 6 High-efficacy lamps in permanently installed light fixtures - Percentage Attic access doors 50% Doors shall be weather-stripped and insulated to level of ceiling insulation. A wood frame or equivalent retainer is required around the access when loose fill insulation is used. 1 The fenestration U-factor excludes skylights means R-13 cavity insulation plus R-5 insulated sheathing. If structural sheathing covers 25% or less of the exterior, R-5 sheathing is not required where structural sheathing is used. If structural sheathing covers more than 25% of exterior, structural sheathing shall be supplemented with insulated sheathing of at least R-2. 3 The second R-value applies when more than half the insulation is on the interior. 4 Or insulation sufficient to fill the framing cavity, R-19 minimum. 5 The first R-value applies to continuous insulation, the second to framing cavity insulation; either insulation meets the requirement. 6 R-5 shall be added to the required slab edge R-values for heated slabs. This form is intended to provide a simple means to document prescriptive code compliance. Please see the full code context for exceptions, alternatives and other requirements that apply. rvsd 05/11 Page 8 of 8
