Before an occupancy permit is granted, site-built fenestration products in other than low-rise residential buildings shall be certified as meeting the Acceptance Requirements for Code Compliance, as specified by the Reference Nonresidential Appendix NA7 of the California Energy Commission 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings to ensure that site-built fenestration meet Standards requirements, including a matching label certificate for each product installed and be readily accessible at the project location. A Certificate of Acceptance shall be submitted to the enforcement agency that certifies that the fenestration product meets the acceptance requirements.

  Exception: Fenestration products removed and reinstalled as part of a building alteration or addition.

  1. Air leakage. Manufactured fenestration products and exterior doors shall have air infiltration rates not exceeding 0.3 cfm/ft [2] of window area, 0.3 cfm/ft [2] of door area for residential doors, 0.3 cfm/ft [2] of door area for nonresidential single doors (swinging and sliding), and 1.0 cfm/ft [2] for nonresidential double doors (swinging), when tested according to NFRC400 or ASTM E283 at a pressure differential of 75 pascals (or 1.57 pounds/ft [2] ), incorporated herein by reference.

  NOTES TO SECTION 110.6(a)1: Pet doors must meet 0.3 cfm/ft [2] when tested according to ASTM E283 at 75 pascals (or 1.57 pounds per square foot).

  AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-2011 specification is equivalent to ASTM E283 at a pressure differential of 75 pascals (or 1.57 pounds per square foot) and satisfies the air leakage certification requirements of this section.

  Exception to Section 110.6(a)1: Field-fabricated fenestration and field-fabricated exterior doors.

  2. U -factor. The fenestration product and exterior door’s U -factor shall be rated in accordance with NFRC 100, or use the applicable default U -factor set forth in Table 110.6-A.

  Exception 1 to Section 110.6(a)2: If the fenestration product is a skylight in a building covered by the nonresidential standards with less than 200 square feet of skylight area, the default U -factor may be calculated as set forth in Reference Nonresidential Appendix NA6.

  Exception 2 to Section 110.6(a)2: If the fenestration product is an alteration consisting of any area replacement of glass in a skylight product in a building covered by the nonresidential standards, the default U -factor may be calculated as set forth in Reference Nonresidential Appendix NA6. 3. Solar heat gain coefficient SHGC. The fenestration product’s SHGC shall be rated in accordance with NFRC 200, or use the applicable default SHGC set forth in Table 110.6-B.

  Exception 1 to Section 110.6(a)3: If the fenestration product is a skylight in a building covered by the nonresidential standards with less than 200 square feet of skylight area, the default SHGC may be calculated as set forth in Reference Nonresidential Appendix NA6.

  Exception 2 to Section 110.6(a)3: If the fenestration product is an alteration consisting of any area replacement of glass in a skylight product in a building covered by the nonresidential standards, the default SHGC may be calculated as set forth in Reference Nonresidential Appendix NA6. 4. Visible transmittance (VT). The fenestration product’s VT shall be rated in accordance with NFRC 200 or ASTM E972. For tubular daylighting devices VT shall be rated using NFRC 203.
