INSULATING MECHANICALS FOR GREEN BUILD ON EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE
We are continuing our look at the new “Green” building code updates to the IECC an IRC universal building codes. Today’s update has to do with mechanical piping. Any piping carrying fluids above 105 degrees F or below 55 degrees F must be insulated to a minimum of R-3.
This requirement is not only for your hot water piping but also for heating and cooling pipes for glycol or fluids for your hot water heating. This is really nothing new since insulating heating piping and duct works has been in the code for years but it does increase the mandate to insulate in all zones and under all conditions – no exceptions.
