Amendment: Proposed Standard Amendment on Combustion Appliance Safety Hazards-Retrofits

Paragraph / Figure / Table / Note: 205.2.3.3
Comment Intent: Not an Objection
Comment Type: Editorial

Comment:

The phrase "field data gathered" is awkward.  "Gathered field data" or "field data that has been gathered by the HERS Rater Candidate" are better options.  However, I don't think this phrase is needed next to the more accurate phrase "field verification of all rated features."  Please strike these four words and do not replace them with anything else.  Or, if the intent is that the field data be gethered by the HERS Rater Candidate, include that clarification.

Proposed Change:

...accomplished using field data gathered and field verification of all rated features of the home in accordance with Section 303.8 and Chapter 8 and shall be completed in the presence of a RESNET certified Candidate Field Assessor, at least one of which shall be completed one-on-one.

The use of a semicolon in this sentence is incorrect and creates a sentence fragment.

Certified Rater isn't a defined term and should be replaced with "certified Rater."

 

Thanks for the work you're doing!  These are important clarifications to make.

Proposed Change:

205.2.3.4.2 Complete three (3) additional probationary ratings. One of the three (3) additional probationary ratings shall be accomplished using field data gathered and field verification of all rated features of the home in accordance with Section 303.8 and Chapter 8;, with the exception that the work is not being performed by a currently Ccertified Rater and shall be completed in the presence of a RESNET certified Candidate Field Assessor. Probationary ratings shall not be considered Confirmed Ratings.
