BUILDING § 5-85 (35) Subsection R402.2.5 of the International Energy Conservation Code is amended to read as follows: "R402.2.5 Mass walls. Mass walls for the purposes of this chapter shall be considered above -grade walls of concrete block, concrete, insulated concrete form (ICF), masonry cavity, brick (other than brick veneer), earth (adobe, compressed earth block, rammed earth) and solid timber/logs, or any other walls having a heat capacity greater than or equal to 6 Btu/ft2 x °F (123 kJ/m2 x K). Exception: Insulation or R -value for mass walls, indicated in Table R402.1.2, is not required when at least one of the following conditions is met: 1. Walls have a covering with a reflectance of > 0.64. 2. Walls have overhangs with a projection factor equal to or greater than 0.3. The projection factor is the horizontal distance from the surface of the wall to the farthest most point of the overhang divided by the vertical distance from the first floor level to the bottom most point of the overhang. 3. Concrete, CMU, and similar mass walls are 6 inches or greater in thickness." (36) Subsection R402.3.2 of the International Energy Conservation Code is amended to read as follows: "R402.3.2 Glazed fenestration SHGC. Fenestration shall have a maximum solar heat gain coefficient as specified in Table R402.1.2. An area -weighted average of fenestration products more than 50 -percent glazed shall be permitted to satisfy the SHGC requirements. Exceptions: 1. Jalousie windows are exempt from SHGC requirements. 2. If fenestrations have overhangs with projection factors, the maximum solar heat gain coefficient shall be as specified in Table R401.2.1. Dynamic glazing shall be permitted to satisfy the SHGC requirements of Table R402.1.2 provided the ratio of the higher to lower labeled SHGC is greater than or equal to 2.4, and the dynamic glazing is automatically controlled to modulate the amount of solar gain into the space in multiple steps. Dynamic glazing shall be considered separately from other fenestration, and area -weighted averaging with other fenestration that is not dynamic glazing shall not be permitted. 5-125 SUPP. 8 (7-2020)
