Proposed MINHERS Addendum 64f, Multi-Family Dwelling Unit Sampling Exception & Puerto Rico Testing Exception Extension, Draft PDS-01

Comment #1

Exception 2 must be limited to the field inspection and testing aspects of the Guidelines.  The Ratings aspect of multifamily Sampling is wholly included in 301-2019 (Section 5.1.4.4 and all subsections).  Including Sampling from the Guidelines in full will result in some significant internal inconsistencies within the standard.  However, I agree that allowing the field testing and inspections modifications from the Guidelines will be beneficial until SDC 900 finishes the project.

Exception 2: The field inspection and testing sampling requirements in the RESNET Guidelines for Multifamily Energy Ratings (consecutive sections titled "Sample Set of Multifamily Dwelling Units" through "Quality Assurance by Multifamily Sampling Providers") are authorized for Sampled Ratings of Dwelling Units and Sleeping Units in multifamily buildings until the MINHERS Chapter 6 or other RESNET standard is updated to include sampling requirements specific to multifamily buildings.
