Paul,
We would like to request a change from prescriptive energy requirements to UA alternative. The
windows chosen complements the design of the house better than some other ones but the U-Values were higher that expected. However after some research and calculations based on the
2015 code compliant UA alternative calculations provided, there is an 11% improved UA
reduction. In the calculations, only the windows were changed and everything else stayed the same which in summary shows that the entire house already far exceeded UA reduction standards of 5%. In addition we are heavily considering solar panels or future solar panel
improvements per budget outcome.
Also we changed a bedroom to an office in the basement per plan shown with no closet.
If there are any questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Derrick Wong
