New York State Energy Codes

ByGerard Hillenbrand, P.E.

That was the important subject presented at New YorkChapter’s Technical Dinner Meeting on May 21, 2008. Thispresentation featured several speakers who had prominentroles in drafting the provisions of the N.Y. state energyconservation construction code # ECCNYS-2007. Thecode’s speakers where:_

• Michael Burnetter, P.E., N.Y. Department of State,Division of Code Enforcement & Administration.

• John Hill, R.A., N.Y. Department of State,Assistant Director of Energy Services.

• Debra Taylor, A.I.A., Lead A.P., N.Y. CityBuilding Department’s Division of TechnicalAffairs, Chief Sustainability Officer.

This presentation featured an excellent slide displaysummarizing the code’s detailed requirements andprofessional registered attendees qualified to earn one PDHcredit toward their continuing education licensing mandates.This Presentation was co-sponsored by the metropolitansection of ASME.

The code #ECCCNYS-2007 is in compliance withthe guidelines of the U.S. Department of Energy and theInternational Construction Code and recommends extensiveuse of N.Y. State’s updated web site, field offices, hot lines,and opportunities for online training and assistance. Thiscode regulates the design and construction of building forthe effective and economical use of energy. The necessityfor these regulations is obvious in view of the worldwideshortage of energy and the recent major price increases.While very specific and detail oriented, this code has beenformulated to provide flexibility to accommodate new andinnovative developments designed to conserve energy use.

The code defines “commercial buildings” as allnon-residential structures and all buildings four or morestories tall regardless of any residential floors. Localmunicipalities are encouraged to develop codes andtechniques providing more stringent energy conservationthan the state code. Compliance with the new coderequirements must be demonstrated by one of the followingmethods:_

• Option – 1 is the software method which generatesan energy rating subject to code departmentapproval. If acceptable, compliance documents areissued.

• Option – 2 is the submission of writtendocumentation along with relevant constructiondesign data.

• Option – 3 is the simulated performance alternativein which modeling software is used to documentthat a proposed design has an annual energy costequal to or less than a standard reference designcovering all building elements.

• Option – 4 is the method used to show that theproposed building has energy efficiency exceedingall national, state, or local codes.


The code requirements only apply to the new area additionsto existing residences.

After approval, a permanent certificate completedby a registered design professional must be posted listing R-Valves of roof, walls, ductwork, and foundations, U-Factorsof all windows, building infiltration valves, and energylevels of all mechanical equipment. The code establishesminimum thermal resistance requirements for all elementsincluding specific glazing applications to glass. Mechanicalequipment must provide a minimum of 5.5 fresh air changesper hour at efficiencies of 80% or greater. The code includesthermal resistance requirements for varying climate zones ina building as well as special factors for isolated rooms andsunrooms. All heating and cooling systems must haveprogrammable thermostats, and conform to all ASHRAEregulations, including the latest upgrades. The state codealso conforms with the guidelines of the green buildingmovement. Basically, all buildings are subject to coderegulations including factories and warehouses.

Because of the unusual height and high density ofcommercial buildings in New York City, the state codeestablishes unique requirements for these structures, incooperation with the N.Y. City building department. Theaim is to achieve 50% or more increases in energy efficiencyover the existing structures. Insulation requirements arespecified as well as window specifications, vapor andmoisture control, air leakage, hot water heating, andelectrical lighting standards. Special credits are granted forroof overhangs and projections and windows, skylights, anddoors must pass an air leakage test. Shutoff dampers arerequired for outdoor air and return ducts to minimize energylosses and ice formation on roofs and building facades. Onceagain, each heating and cooling system must have a leastone solid state programmable thermostat. 60 to 70 years oldmechanical thermostats are no longer acceptable. All pipesin air conditioning systems must be insulated as well as allducts and plenums. Joints, seems and connections must besecurely fastened and ordinary duct tape is not permitted.

In commercial buildings of the common type inN.Y. City, HVAC systems are usually very complex,including multiple service zones, variable speed air volumedrivers, and closed loop hot water distribution and returnsystems. All systems with cooling capacity greater than65,000 btu/hour must employ outside economizer unitscirculating 100% outside air with coordinated dampercontrols, preferably motorized to automatically shut whensystems and/or spaces are not in use. With these complexsystems, heating and cooling loads and sizing ofcomponents must be calculated in accordance with HVACguidelines published by ASHRAE. Each component usedmust have a guaranteed minimum efficiency and controlswhich provide automatic time clocks and programmableequipment for off-hour standby usage. Variable speed drivesfor fans and pumps are required and may be of the purelymechanical type or the electrical variable frequency type.Each fan motor equal to or greater than 7 ½ HP must becapable of being reversed so as to provide rejection ofexcess heat. All complex HVAC systems must pass tests for

balancing the systems under various operating conditionsand the system’s designers and builders must provideoperators. Water heating systems must include independentheat recovery provisions. Ventilation systems must includeequipment for drawing in outside fresh air and the trend tolose efficiency, compromising the quality of indoor air.Constant monitoring and maintenance programs are stronglyrecommended.

In N.Y. City approximately 27% of energyconsumption is devoted to building lighting. Hence,controlling the density of light within and outside a buildingis essential to energy savings. High efficiency list sourcessuch as fluorescent, metal halide, and high-pressure sodiumare required for corridors, walkways and parking areas. Allindoor areas must have light reduction controls in additionto on-off switches. Exit signs must be of the LED or self-illuminating type. Even more demanding provisions arerequired for hotels, including high efficiency lamps andfixtures, electronic ballasts, and emergency lighting forstairwells, corridors, and conference areas. Afterconstruction is completed, the lighting system must undergoan energy consumption test at maximum lighting power andthe recorded consumption must be less or equal to the designpower usage. If there are cases of non-compliance,reductions are mandated. Similarly, tests are required toevaluate the energy performance of the total building on anannual basis. Once again, when total energy consumptionexceeds design parameters, revisions must be made andthese changes may include additional glazing on glassfacades, and the possible use of special components such assolar panels, photovoltaic cells, batter storage, andgeothermal energy systems. These revisions must alsoconform to ASHRAE regulations and the constructionguidelines sponsored by the NYSERDA and Leadorganizations.

The questions and answer period covered suchsubjects as the more toxic atmospheres caused by sealedwindows and the increased prevalence of corrosivechemicals resulting from the unregulated disposal offluorescent, halide and sodium lighting implements. Also,new building in compliance with regulations may qualify fortax relief and/or credits. Attendees were urged to makefrequent, in-depth use of the state, city and buildingdepartment web sites when confronting issues raised by thenew energy code. Public hearings concerning the code’sapplication are scheduled periodically until September,2008. Attendees were specifically invited to the N.Y. Citybuildings department’s public forum scheduled for Tuesday,June, 24th to express their concerns and to obtain officialanswers to their questions.

This was a constructive and very informativetechnical lecture. Good Job!!!


April, 2008 Technical Meeting

ByGerard Hillenbrand, P.E.

Met section’s April technical meeting was held onThursday, April 17th, 2008 at Con Edison Head Quarters onIrvington Place and 14th street in Manhattan. The topic ofthe meeting was the “technique and applications forsubsurface “technique and applications for subsurfaceimaging using ground penetration radar.” The meeting’sspeaker was John D. Ciampa, director of geophysicalservices & environmental remediation for the spectrasubsurface imaging organization, LLC, of Latham, N.Y.Spectra’s services are widely used by con Edison and otherutilities to investigate underground conditions atconstruction sites throughout the unite states professionalengineers attending this meeting qualified for 1.5 hours ofcredit toward to the continuing education requirementsmandated a few years ago by the N.Y. state educationdepartment.

Underground imaging techniques are not newdevelopments but recent advanced computer and dataprocessing methods have optimized these systems to provideprecise subsurface mapping that is accurate and complete.The imaging techniques employ electromagnetic radiationdevices emitting frequencies approximating those used inmicrowave cooking appliances. Various frequencies areused depending on the depth of ground penetrationinvestigated. For example, a frequency of 100 micro hertzwill detect obstructions at depths of 50 feet, 200 MHz at 25ft., 400 MHz at 10 ft., 1000 MHz at about 4 ft., and 1500MHz between the surface and depths of 3 feet. Thegenerated frequencies are dependent on the type, orientationand design of the antennas employed. There are two (2)basic types of antennas – the ground coupled type and the air

launched type which is capable of deeper ground penetrationbut with reduced image resolution. The air launched antennais also more mobile and provides more flexible operation.The antenna emitted electromagnetic waves are reflected offunderground object and detected by a separate receivingantenna coupled to a data recorder for processing andinterpretation. Different Buried materials have differentelectromagnetic reflective properties and these differencesprovide the means for accurate identification.

The antenna configurations and data collectiondevices are usually mounted on a moving conveyancesimilar to a bicycle or golf cart and uniformly driven overthe ground area requiring investigation. Buried objectsreflect the electromagnetic waves as previously described.The speed of the conveyance is, of course, variable andadjusted continually since the time required to detect thereflected wave is proportional to the depth of the buriedobject. For example, a round buried pipe or conduit wouldproduce a reflected wave depicted as an inverted hyperbolaon the data recording screen. Other obstructions and varioussoil conditions all have various image characteristics andinterpretation of these images requires a good deal ofpractical experience and exposure. This is one skill that isusually not taught in engineeringschools.

Various soils are frequently layered configurationsof differing materials and, since each material has differingreflective properties, the interfaces of these differing soilmaterials can be visually defined in the resulting image, ascan material voids also. For example, soils having a highclay content have relatively poor reflective properties, butsoils with high salt content have good reflective properties.The amount of moisture in the soil can also affect reflectiveproperties, as can the presence of multiple objects, the sizeof the objects and their depth below the surface. Theresulting images can be displayed on a personal computer,providing opportunities for rapid analysis. Antenna controls


provide adjustable amplitudes for the emitted signals alongwith signal velocity control, as well as filtering circuitry andstacking provisions for multiplesignals.

As such, these ground penetrating radar techniquesprovide safe, non-destructive methods for discovering buriedobjects along with rapid, continuous, and large volume datacollection with minimum service reduction and constructiondelays. Units with single channel antennas can survey areasof 1500 square feet per hour at a cost of about $4000 perday. Multi-channel units (with as many 14 channels emitting400 micro hertz) can survey areas as large as 40,000 squarefeet in one working shift at cost of $0.50 to $0.75 per squarefoot. Recent developments include hand-held unitsweighting no more than two pounds, used for investigatingthe integrity of masonry walls and floors. Data collectionunits now can provide printouts in the field as well as CADcompatible photographs. Incidentally, all antenna designsand configurations must be approved by the federalcommunications commission to eliminate any potentialinterference with other media.

Mr. Ciampa’s computerized slide presentation thencontinued with illustrations of successfully completedprojects on infrastructure inspections, utility piping maps,geological and geotechnical investigations, buildingfoundation testing, geophysical and archeological searches,and concrete pavement and structure tests varying fromseveral inches to 50 feet in depth. Among the specific casestudies where:_

• In Yonkers, a utility construction site 300ft long x 40 ft wide was scanned to locateburied utility and electrical lines fromdepth of 1 inch to 10 feet. The results wereused to locate proposed vault whichconsolidated the complex system ofexisting lines.

• In Manhattan, A similar study produced aseries of depth slices or cross-sectionviews, which discovered the location ofburied rail and trolley tracks.Investigations in Times Square alsodiscovered the locations of various buriedsteel beams and wire mesh as well as anabandoned concrete vault.

• In upstate New York, a geologicalmapping study was conducted in an

abandoned quarry to locate the paths ofwater leaks from an adjacent reservoir.Several sealed mines, earth voids and rockfracture zones were located and a drillingprogram was developed through whichgrout was pumped to seal the vacancies.The result was a 90% reduction in waterloss.

• At a superfund site, tests were conductedto locate a lost, buried tank and tooptimize the location of proposed waterline. The tests discovered bedrock as closeto 10 feet of a surface.

• At an abandoned cemetery, a subsurfaceradar investigation varying from depths of1 to 6 feet located sunken tombstonesdating from the 1930’s, crushed stonepathways, and multiple number of graves,all located in a vacant city lot.

• At confidential locations, subsurfaceimaging techniques are employed to locateand quantify sties for future petroleumextraction, investigations, which can resultin potentially valuable additions to currentsupply.

The usual question and answer period followed Mr.Ciampa’s presentation. Several engineers presentexchanged business cards with Mr. Ciampa tofollow up with the possibility of further studycovering their own technical requirements.Licensed professional engineers who attended thistechnical lecture qualified for 1.5 hours ofprofessional development credit. This technicallecture was typical of those periodically presentedby ASME’s metropolitan section to enable ourmember mechanical engineers to remain abreast ofthe latest technological advances. We look forwardto your attendance at our future meetings.
