Does anyone know of any exceptions that will apply in regards to IEEC 2009 - That would allow this to be built and not meet all IEEC 2009 Com Check - As it is elevated floor of concrete - Wall of Glass - I foresee issues with local JHA approving without making some exceptions. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Not familiar with the IEEC I think you mean the IECC? International Energy Conservation Code.

New construction?

Don't have my 2009 anymore....They might have an exception for low energy buildings......But it depends on what part of the code you are trying to avoid....

Good one Tim, does your building face south? Consider dual glazing and/or thermal film. Glazing on one side only, or 1 main and 2 partial ends?
Building is only occupied for limited times, no?

 

[SCBO1]

Tim, See additional information on this forum. Type in Press Boxes in the search box.

 

[Timothy Whitesides]

Yes it is only occupied for limited time frame and limited times during the year - Thanks

It will be Southeast fronting - And limited use - Thanks

Do not condition the space.
If the announcer brings his own portable heater on a cold night so what.
The fact the cost analysis is based on an estimated annual cost and this building will see very limited seasonal use I hope an AHJ would acknowledge that fact and not enforce the letter of the code on this project.

101.5.2 Low energy buildings.
The following buildings, or portions thereof, separated from the remainder of the building by building thermal envelope assemblies complying with this code shall be exempt from the building thermal envelope provisions of this code:
1. Those with a peak design rate of energy usage less than 3.4 Btu/h • ft2 (10.7 W/m2) or 1.0 watt/ft2 (10.7 W/m2) of floor area for space conditioning purposes.
2. Those that do not contain conditioned space .
