ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007 31
nected to a boiler that meets the applicable efficiency
requirements shown in Table 6.8.1F (boilers).
e. The outdoor air quantity supplied by the system shall
be less than or equal to 3000 cfm and less than 70% of
the supply air quantity at minimum outdoor air design
conditions unless an energy recovery ventilation system
is provided in accordance with the requirements in
Section 6.5.6.
f. The system shall be controlled by a manual changeover or
dual setpoint thermostat.
g. If a heat pump equipped with auxiliary internal electric
resistance heaters is installed, controls shall be provided
that prevent supplemental heater operation when the
heating load can be met by the heat pump alone during
both steady-state operation and setback recovery. Supplemental
heater operation is permitted during outdoor
coil defrost cycles. Two means of meeting this requirement
are (1) a digital or electronic thermostat designed
for heat pump use that energizes auxiliary heat only
when the heat pump has insufficient capacity to maintain
setpoint or to warm up the space at a sufficient rate
or (2) a multistage space thermostat and an outdoor air
thermostat wired to energize auxiliary heat only on the
last stage of the space thermostat and when outside air
temperature is less than 40?F. Heat pumps whose minimum
efficiency is regulated by NAECA and whose
HSPF rating both meets the requirements shown in
Table 6.8.1B and includes all usage of internal electric
resistance heating are exempted from the control
requirements of this part (Section 6.3.2[g]).
h. The system controls shall not permit reheat or any other
form of simultaneous heating and cooling for humidity
control.
i. Systems serving spaces other than hotel/motel guest
rooms, and other than those requiring continuous operation,
which have both a cooling or heating capacity
greater than 15,000 Btu/h and a supply fan motor
power greater than 3/4 hp, shall be provided with a
time clock that (1) can start and stop the system under
different schedules for seven different day-types per
week, (2) is capable of retaining programming and
time setting during a loss of power for a period of at
least ten hours, (3) includes an accessible manual override
that allows temporary operation of the system for
up to two hours, (4) is capable of temperature setback
down to 55?F during off hours, and (5) is capable of
temperature setup to 90?F during off hours.
j. Except for piping within manufacturers? units, HVAC piping
shall be insulated in accordance with Table 6.8.3. Insulation
exposed to weather shall be suitable for outdoor
service, e.g., protected by aluminum, sheet metal, painted
canvas, or plastic cover. Cellular foam insulation shall be
protected as above or painted with a coating that is water
retardant and provides shielding from solar radiation.
k. Ductwork and plenums shall be insulated in accordance
with Tables 6.8.2A and 6.8.2B and shall be sealed in
accordance with Table 6.4.4.2A.
l. Construction documents shall require a ducted system
to be air balanced in accordance with industryaccepted
procedures.
m. Where separate heating and cooling equipment serves the
same temperature zone, thermostats shall be interlocked
to prevent simultaneous heating and cooling.
n. Exhausts with a design capacity of over 300 cfm on systems
that do not operate continuously shall be equipped
with gravity or motorized dampers that will automatically
shut when the systems are not in use.
o. Systems with a design supply air capacity greater than
10,000 cfm shall have optimum start controls.
