  • Tip 426, Envelope Component Performance Compliance. This Tip provides guidance on use of the component performance method, sometimes referred to as “Target UA” or “UA tradeoff,” in Section C402.1.5. This method allows some building envelope components to have higher U-factors (more heat loss) than allowed by code, in exchange for other components that have lower U-factors (less heat loss) than are allowed.
  • Tip 429, Energy Code for Multifamily Buildings. This Tip provides information about energy code requirements that specifically apply to multifamily buildings. In general, multifamily buildings must comply with the entire commercial Energy Code, but there are some differences.
  • Tip 503, Side Sewer Permits in Seattle. This Tip provides information on how to get a side sewer permit for any work on side sewers and service drains.
