2006 Seattle Nonresidential Energy Code Compliance Form Instructions for 2006 Seattle Energy Code Electronic Forms

Start-up Overvie w Save Files Getting Around Filling Fields

This file, 2006sec-MECH.XLS, has electronic versions of the 2006 compliance forms for mechanical systems. Open a working copy of this file and be sure to use Save As to save it to a new file name. Alternatively, you can save the file as a template in the XLSTART subdirectory in the EXCEL directory, and open new copies with the "File New" menu command. Look for "2006secMECH". This workbook file contains multiple worksheets. Each worksheet is indicated by a tab at the bottom of the screen. (If you don't see the tabs, visit menu option "Tools-Options-View-Sheet Tabs".) You may visit each form by clicking on its tab. Most calculations are automated. The spaces which display the results of calculations are not editable. Some adjustments to formatting have been made to facilitate electronic filling and calculation of the forms. Each time you open this file and start filling forms, you must save it under a new filename of your choosing using File Save As. The original template file cannot be altered. You may also save your own versions of the forms this way. Each form has two pages (front and back). Both pages are available on screen when you click the tab for a form. Use the scroll bars to find the second page. It is either to the right, below, or sometimes to the right and below the first page. All project info and the date for all forms is entered once on "MECH-SUM" and automatically reproduced on the other forms. Always fill in the heading of MECH-SUM, even if you will not be using that form. The other forms have a reminder to do this. Only fillable fields are accessible. If you try to edit any other field, you'll get an error message. You may use the TAB key to move to the next fillable field. If the TAB doesn't take you where you want to go, use the mouse. Avoid excessively long text strings when entering information. In some cases, text that extends beyond the available space will simply not be seen. In most cases, the text will wrap within the cell. This may force part of the form onto a new page To enter the date, use this format: mm/dd/yyyy. For example, you would enter 7/2/2006 or 12/15/2007. On MECH-MOT, horsepower (HP) is displayed in fractions, but may be entered any way. For example, 1-1/2 may be entered as "1.5" or as "1 1/2". Check boxes can be either blank, or checked-off with an "x" shown in the box. To toggle between cases, click the box with your mouse. Radio buttons (circles) are either filled or unfilled. Only one in a set may be filled. Drop-down lists have an arrow at the right side of the space. Click the arrow with your mouse and select the appropriate option. One of the options is a blank. When a form has a space for notes or explanation, click anywhere in the space to edit. Your cursor will become a text editing insertion bar and you can edit as with a word processor.

You can address, phone, Personal footer using personalize the forms with your company name,save the file underor any other information. This is done by editing the File Page Setup Header/Footer. You can then a new template name and re-use it again. izing Many tables, such as for listing equipment types, have a certain number of lines for entering data. There may not always be Adding enough lines for all the entries you need to make. With this electronic version, you can add additional lines to the table.

Lines To add additional lines where this feature is available, click on the "+" button with your mouse. This button is located to the right and of the sheet. If you can't see it, scroll right (or change the View Zoom setting to 83%). Removin To remove lines that you have added, click on the "-" button with your mouse. You cannot remove lines that were not added; an error appears if you try. g
If you add additional lines with this method, the pagination will usually be affected. The forms will be forced to carry additional lines over to other pages. Be sure to submit all pages to the plans examiner.

Printing

The forms should print on any printer supported by Windows. You will need to have the following TrueType fonts installed under Windows: Arial, Times New Roman, Courrier New and Wingdings. These are all standard Windows fonts. If you are losing form or flowchart details when printing, you may have a shortage of printer memory. Try printing problem pages individually. By default, only selected forms are printed. To select one or more forms, hold down the Ctrl key and click the tabs of the worksheets you need. Issue the File Print Selected Sheets command. To print the entire set, use File Print Entire Workbook.

Clean Forms Partial Form Sets MECHSUM

It is possible to print clean, blank versions of these forms for hand filling. To do so, delete all of the heading information at the beginning of MECH-SUM, and make sure that all fillable cells in the forms are empty. Then print the clean forms. For each radio button group, there is a button labeled "Clear". Clicking this button will clear the other buttons so that they will print as empty circles. The "Clear" button will not print. There are two companion templates to this file: 2006sec-ENV.XLS (chapter 13 envelope requirements); 2006sec-LGT.XLS (Chapter 15 lighting requirements). Forms in a set may not be deleted, because the file is locked, but you need not print all the forms, as explained in "Printing" above. If your building has both Simple Systems and Complex Systems, you must use separate copies of MECH-SUM for each type. Two copies of the form are provided for this purpose.

As this respond slowly to changes Re-Calcu calculation is a large file, it may"Tools-Options-Calculation" if it is set to automatically re-calculate after every action. To set to manual, visit the menu item. Then manually recalculate using the F9 key. lation

NOTE THAT SINGLE-FAN/DUAL-DUCT SYSTEMS AND min outs MULTIZONE SYSTEMS DO NOT COMPLY WITH THIS REQUIREMENT. THIS IS BECAUSE ECONOMIZER OPERATION LOWERS THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR ENTERING THE HOT DECK HEATING COIL, INCREASING ITS ENERGY USE. IN ORDER TO USE THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM MUST MEET ONE OF THE ECONOMIZER EXCEPTIONS AND HAVE NEITHER TYPE OF ECONOMIZER. (ANOTHER RESOLUTION IS TO USE A DUAL-FAN/DUAL-DUCT SYSTEM WHERE THE HOT DECK FAN SUPPLIES ONLY RETURN AIR OR RETURN AIR PLUS MINIMUM VENTILATION AIR.) THIS REQUIREMENT WILL NOT AFFECT THREEDECK MULTIZONE SINCE THEY CANNOT WORK WITH AN AIR ECONOMIZER IN ANY CASE (IT WOULD MAKE THE NEUTRAL DECK A COLD DECK). AN EXCEPTION TO THE HEATING IMPACT IS PROVIDED FOR ECONOMIZERS ON VAV SYSTEMS THAT CAUSE ZONE LEVEL HEATING TO INCREASE DUE TO A REDUCTION IN SUPPLY AIR TEMPERATURE. REDUCING SUPPLY AIR TEMPERATURES ON A COOLING-VAV SYSTEM WILL REDUCE FAN ENERGY (PARTICULARLY IF THE SYSTEM HAS A VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE), OFFSETTING THE ENERGY LOST DUE TO INCREASED REHEAT ENERGY. SEE THE DISCUSSION AND DIAGRAMS OF SECTION 6.5.1.4 OF ASHRAE/IESNA STANDARD 90.1 IN THE USERS MANUAL.

1414 Ducting Systems 1414.1 Sealing: Duct work which is designed to operate at pressures above inch water column static pressure shall be sealedin (( accordance with Standard RS-7. Extent of sealing required isas )) follows: 1. ((Static pressure: inch to 2 inches; seal transverse joints. )) (Reserved.) 2. Static pressure: (( )) inches to 3 inches; seal all transverse joints 2 and longitudinal seams. Spiral lock seams in round and flat oval ductwork do not require sealing, however, other seams shall be sealed. 3. Static pressure: above 3 inches; seal all transverse joints, longitudinal seams and duct wall penetrations. ((Duct tape and other pressure sensitive tape shall not be used as the primary sealant where ducts are designed to operate at static pressures of 1 inch W.C. or greater. )) All low-pressure supply and return air systems not located entirely within the conditioned space, including the unconditioned side of enclosed stud bays or joist cavities/spaces used to transport air, shall be securely fastened and sealed. Ductwork shall be sealed using welds, gaskets, mastic, or mastic-plus-embedded-fabric tape. Enclosed stud bays or joist cavities/spaces used to transport air shall be sealed using mastic-plus-embedded-fabric tape or, when drywall is used to enclose the air system, drywall mud and tape. Duct tape is not permitted as a sealant on any ducts. EXCEPTION:Fibrous glass duct systems installed in accordance with standard UL 181A and flexible duct systems installed in accordance with standard UL 181B may use tapes listed for these systems.
