New Energy Verification Sheets go into effect at DCRA Feb 1, 2015 are you ready?
DCRA has been making many changes in the past year. With the implementation of the 2013 DC Energy Conservation code one new change is the Energy Verification Sheet. This form will be required on the majority of projects being submitted after February 1, 2015. The new form is intended to provide a transparent and consistent way to communicate between the designer, code reviewer, and inspector. The Energy Verification Sheet are not required on every project. The following projects are required to have a new form submitted.
Residential projects (use the Low-Rise Residential Sheet) that are:
•Level 3 Alteration
•New Construction
•Addition
Commercial projects (use the EVS that matches the design condition) that are:
•Level 2 Alteration
•Level 3 Alteration
•New Construction
•Addition
While Energy Verification Sheets are not required on other Alteration types, DCRA recommends use of the sheets even for smaller projects. By using this form it is expected that it will reduce permit reviewer questions speeding up the process. However, with any new change it will take all parties a while to get up and running effectively. DCRA is offering training to help get you up to speed on the forms.
