About this file

This is a ResCheck energy compliance certification report for Building B of Project 23135-3, a multi-family residential construction project in Macedon, New York, submitted by Gerber Homes. The project involves the construction of three all-electric, wood-framed townhome buildings totaling fifteen residential units at 2 West Street (Lapham Estates). Building B, the subject of this report, comprises 4,638 square feet of conditioned floor area with a 10% glazing area ratio and is classified as new construction under the 2020 NYStretch - 2018 IECC energy code standards for Climate Zone 5a. The building is oriented 180 degrees from north and features multi-family residential construction with all-electric systems, including heat pump capability, though renewable energy systems, battery storage, and EV charging are not included in this unit.

The energy compliance assessment demonstrates that the proposed building design exceeds code requirements, achieving 1.2% better performance than the code maximum using a UA trade-off compliance path, with a proposed UA value of 505 compared to the maximum allowable of 511. The envelope assemblies include raised/energy truss ceilings with R-41 continuous insulation, wood-frame walls with R-21 cavity insulation, vinyl-frame windows and doors with SHGC ratings of 0.34, and basement masonry block walls with R-19 integral insulation. The inspection checklist addresses mandatory compliance requirements across pre-inspection/plan review, foundation, framing/rough-in, insulation, and final inspection provisions, with all high-impact Tier 1 requirements documented as compliant. The report confirms adherence to mechanical, ventilation, lighting, and hot water system requirements, including HRV/ERV ventilation systems and high-efficiency lighting fixtures meeting or exceeding 65 lumens/watt efficacy standards.

The % Better or Worse Than Code Index reflects how close to compliance the house is based on code trade-off rules. It DOES

NOT provide an estimate of energy use or cost relative to a minimum-code home.

Slab-on-grade tradeoffs are no longer considered in the UA or performance compliance path in REScheck. Each slab-on-grade assembly in the specified climate zone must meet the minimum energy code insulation R-value and depth requirements.

Compliance Statement

The proposed building design described here is consistent with the building plans, specifications, and other calculations submitted with the permit application. The proposed building has been designed to meet the 2020 NYStretch - 2018 IECC requirements in REScheck-Web and to comply with the mandatory requirements listed in the REScheck Inspection Checklist.
