Section 002. Definitions

01. Listing Agency. A person, firm, association, partnership or corporation which is in the business o f listing or labeling and which maintains a periodic inspection program on current production of listed materials, an d which makes available, not less frequently than annually, a published report of such listing in which specifi c information is included that the product has been tested to nationally approved standards and found safe for use in a specified manner. (7-1-24) 02. Minor Alteration. The following definition is used for the purpose of administering annual permits. (7-1-24) a. Minor alterations shall include, but are not limited to, the following: partition walls constructe d within a defined room; relocation of or existing openings or installation of new doors and windows in non-loa d bearing walls and not in construction meant to compartmentalize fire; window replacement in unaltered existing openings; roof repairs involving installation of less than one hundred (100) square feet of new roof covering; and ne w suspended ceilings that are not part of a required fire resistive assembly. (7-1-24) b. Minor alterations shall not include: work that alters the fire resistive characteristics of the building or fire suppression systems; work that creates new openings in construction meant to compartmentalize fire such a s fire walls, fire barriers, fore partitions, smoke barriers, smoke partitions, horizontal assemblies, shaft enclosures, stai r enclosures; work that increases the floor area or height of the building; work that changes the structural load path o f the building for gravity or horizontal loads; work that reduces the thermal resistant capacity of the building envelop ; changes in the occupancy classification of the building or space; increases in the floor loads.

(7-1-24) 003. – 199. (RESERVED) 200. INTEGRATED DESIGN AND FUNDAMENTAL COMMISSIONING OF PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES. 01. Technical and Educational Information. Technical and educational information related t o integrated design and fundamental commissioning in the form of the American Institute of Architects Integrate d Project Delivery Guide; Portland Energy Conservation, Inc. (PECI) Commissioning Guides; ASHRAE Guideline 0- 2005-The Commissioning Process; and the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance Integrated Design Special Focu s on Energy Performance Guide is available on the Division’s. A building commissioned under the prescriptiv e approaches defined by any of the above-named national organizations is deemed to have completed the Fundamenta l Commissioning process. (7-1-24) 02. Commissioning Agents. The Division has compiled and made available for public examination a list of all known third party building commissioning agents in Idaho and its contiguous states. The Division ha s ensured that all such commissioning agents appearing on this list have been certified by the Building Commissionin g Association (BCA) or other similar certifying entity. (7-1-24) 03. Annual Optimization Review. (7-1-24) a. The third-party commissioning agent who performed the initial fundamental commissioning for a public school building must provide the school district with a written report identifying the systems which will be subject to the Idaho Code Section 33-356 annual optimization review and identifying the system requirements and/o r other relevant measuring criteria. The written report shall, at a minimum include the following: (7-1-24) i

nt who performed the initial fundamental commissioning for a public school building must provide the school district with a written report identifying the systems which will be subject to the Idaho Code Section 33-356 annual optimization review and identifying the system requirements and/o r other relevant measuring criteria. The written report shall, at a minimum include the following: (7-1-24) i. Verification that the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, controls, dampers , valves, sensors and other equipment used to control the system are functioning as they were at the commissioning o f the building; (7-1-24) ii. Verification that the lighting controls are functioning as they were at the commissioning of th e building; and (7-1-24) iii. The requirement that any changes made to any of the controls contained on the agent’s list after th e initial commissioning be re-set back to the commissioned settings unless it can be demonstrated that the new setting s result in greater energy efficiency. (7-1-24) b. The annual optimization review shall be performed by persons qualified to make the require d determinations and adjustments. (7-1-24) c. Following the annual optimization review, the school district shall submit to the Division writte n verification indicating (1) the systems identified by the commissioning agent, including those identified in thi s Section are functioning as they were at the initial commissioning; and (2) identifying the persons performing th e optimization and their qualifications. (7-1-24) 04. Commissioning Anniversary Date. The date upon which the commissioning agent provides the school district with the required written report described in Paragraph 038.04.b. of these rules shall be th e commissioning anniversary date for purposes of this Section

they were at the initial commissioning; and (2) identifying the persons performing th e optimization and their qualifications. (7-1-24) 04. Commissioning Anniversary Date. The date upon which the commissioning agent provides the school district with the required written report described in Paragraph 038.04.b. of these rules shall be th e commissioning anniversary date for purposes of this Section. If a school district seeks to qualify a building for th e building replacement value calculation, the annual optimization review shall be performed within thirty (30) days of the annual commissioning anniversary date following the first year the building is in operation. The writte n verification required by Paragraph 038.03.e. of these rules is due to the Division not later than sixty (60) days afte r the annual commissioning anniversary date. (7-1-24) 05. Fundamental Building Commissioning Requirements. (7-1-24) a. School districts seeking to qualify a building for the building replacement value calculation shal l engage a building commissioning agent. (7-1-24) b. The commissioning agent must document the owner’s requirements for each commissioned syste m in the facility. All HVAC and controls systems, duct work and piping, renewable and alternative technologies , lighting controls and day lighting, waste heat recovery, and any other advanced technologies incorporated in th e building must be commissioned. Building envelope systems must also be verified. The owner’s requirements fo r these systems may include efficiency targets and other performance criteria such as temperature and lighting level s that will define the performance criteria for the functional performance testing that occurs prior to acceptance. (7-1-24) c. The commissioning agent shall include commissioning requirements in the project construction documents

s must also be verified. The owner’s requirements fo r these systems may include efficiency targets and other performance criteria such as temperature and lighting level s that will define the performance criteria for the functional performance testing that occurs prior to acceptance. (7-1-24) c. The commissioning agent shall include commissioning requirements in the project construction documents. This includes the scope of commissioning for the project, the systems to be commissioned, and th e various requirements related to schedule, submittal reviews, testing, training, O & M manuals, and warranty reviews. (7-1-24) d. The commissioning agent shall develop and utilize a commissioning plan. This plan must include an overview of the commissioning process for the project, a list of commissioned systems, primary commissionin g participants and their roles, a communication and management plan, an outline of the scope of commissioning tasks , a list of work products, a schedule, and a description of any commissioning testing activities. (7-1-24) e. The commissioning agent must submit a report to the owner once the commissioning plan has been executed. (7-1-24) 201. – 499. (RESERVED)
