Indoor Stairways: stairways, ramps, landings, winders, risers, treads and tread nosings, handrails, guardrails, etc, are code compliant. Stairways have a minimum headroom clearance of 6'-8" (6'-6" for spiral stairways) and 36" minimum clear width. R311.7.3 R303.7 R. R310 Flight of stairs do not have a vertical rise greater than 12 feet between floor levels and/or landings. Starways are provided with light source per code and switches at each level per code. EMERGENCY ESCAPE AND RESCUE OPENINGS: Emergency escape and resuce openings: basements, habitable attics and every sleeping room shall have at least one operable emergency escape and rescue opening. Where basements contain one or more sleeping rooms, emergency egress and rescue openings have been provided for each sleeping room. R310 Emergency escape and resuce openings: Minumum opening areas required for basements, habitable attics and every sleeping room. Minimum 5.0 sq. ft. for grade floor openings Minimum 5.7 sq. ft. for all other openings Minimum opening height = 24" net clear Minumum opening width = 20" net clear Maximum sill height = 44" R312.2 Where the opening of an operable window is located more than 72" above the finished grade or surface below, the lowest part of the clear opening of the window is a minimum of 24" above the finished floor.

S. SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS: Smoke alarms are installed in ech sleeping room; outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms; on each additional story of the dwelling, including basements and habitable attics; receive their primary power from the building wiring; and are equipped with battery back-up power. Must be tested both, with a live power source and on battery back-up power only. Smoke alarms have been tested in the presence of the Code Official. The activation of any alarm in the system automatically activated all alarms in the dwelling. Carbon Monoxide Alarms: a carbon monoxide alarm is installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. Carbon Monoxide detection systems : Carbon monoxide detection systems that include carbon monoxide detectors and audible notification appliances, installed and maintained in accordance with this section for carbon monoxide alarms and NFPA 720, is permitted. The carbon monoxide detectors shall be listed as complying with UL 2075. T. ENERGY CONSERVATION: Blower Door test passed and 3rd party testing certification received R403.1 At least one programmable thermostat has been provided for each separate forced-air heating and cooling system. The thermostat is capable of maintaining the HVAC system on a daily schedule and at different times of the day. Supply Ducts are insulated to a minimum of R-6, unless ducts are installed on the inside of the building thermal envelope The HVAC unit(s) complies with the minimum efficiency indicated in the approved construction documents or per code minimum. 19 of 21 5/20/2016
R401.3 A permanent certificate shall be completed and posted on or in the electrical distribution panel by the builder or registered design professional. The certificate shall list the predominant R- values of insulation installed in or on ceilings / roofs, walls, foundation (slab, basement wall, crawlspace wall and / or floor) and ducts outside the conditioned spaces: U-factors for fenestration and the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of fenestration, and the results from any required duct system and building envelope air leakage testing done on the building. Where there is more than one value for each component, the certificate shall list the value of the largest area. The certificate shall list the types and efficiencies of heating, cooling and service water heating equipment. Where a "gasfired unvented room heater", "electric furnace", or "baseboard electric heater" is installed in the residence, the certificate shall list them as appropriate but not list their efficiency. A minimum of 50% of the lamps in permanently installed lighting fixtures are high-efficiency lamps. U. ATTIC AREAS: Pull Down Stair or attic access (scuttle) hole is insulated and weather stripped. Attic insulation is R49. R-38 shall be demmed to satisfy the requirement for R-49 where ever the full height of uncompressed R-38 insulation extends over the top plate at the eaves If spray foam is utilized, submit product and installation specifications to Inspector Eave baffles are installed at the eaves and as required in other locations to prevent insulation from falling or wind-washing into the eaves and other spaces. The thickness of blown-in or sprayed roof / ceiling insulation (fiberglass or cellulose) is written in inches on markers that are installed at/for every 300 sq. ft. of area through out the attic space. The markers shall be affixed to the trusses or joists and marked with the minimum initial installed thickness with numbers a minimum of 1" in height. Each marker shall face the attic opening. Spray foam thickness and the installed R- value shall be listed on the certification provided by the insulation installer. Attic Ventilation: Openings in sheathing meet code requirements.
