CMFRT2: If ducts are in unconditioned attic, install ENERGY STAR roof

Purpose

An ENERGY STAR roof serves to cool down the attic interior, reducing the temperature inside the attic, which puts less strain on the duct system.

Criteria

If HVAC ductwork will be installed in an unconditioned attic, design and construct the building roof using ENERGY STAR certified roof products. Information on ENERGY STAR roof products can be found here.

Confirmation

The Technical Advisor will visually verify compliance during the mid-construction inspection.
