Building Code Board of Appeals <br />Agenda <br />May 18, 2023 <br />Page 10 of 15 <br />Berry responded that it is the EUI, or Energy Use Intensity, And that's the energy <br />use per square foot. <br />Root interjected that the chart in the proposed ordinance came directly from the <br />Boulder ordinance. Root also pointed out that restaurants, hospitals, and <br />manufacturing are not included in the proposal. <br />Berry pointed out that manufacturing projects have specifications that are <br />temperature sensitive that might require generators and wanted to confirm that <br />this is not part of the scope. <br />Root confirmed that it includes multifamily office, small office, medium office, <br />large schools, primary, secondary, etc. <br />Berry further explained that restaurants, factories and facitlities with gas <br />processing equipment would be subject to the 2021 IECC prescriptive <br />compliance option, but not the new code that is being proposed. <br />Dino requested they clarify what is included in the proposed Commercial Code. <br />Berry read from the proposal that it says tenant finishes included in the scope of <br />appendix PT.

The <br />concern is someone will rent a warehouse and not do any improvements and <br />heat it with something that is unsafe. <br />Root commented that space heating equipment, fossil fuel, warm air forces and <br />electric resistance spacing equipment shall not be permitted and this is <br />
