1. Roofing products including liquid coatings must comply with all mandatory measures. The roofing products manufacturer must have its roofing product listed in the CRRC’s Rated Product Directory (see http://www.coolroofs.org) OR, for steep sloped roofs
   only, be an approved Above-Sheathing Ventilation (ASV) metal roofing product whose manufacturer has provided sufficient evidence
   of energy savings equivalent to the minimum solar reflectance and thermal emissivity requirements set forth below.
2. Roofing products must at a minimum meet the following solar reflectance and thermal emissivity requirements. In the
   case of liquid roofing products, the overall final roof assembly or surface, with the product applied, must meet these requirements
   

   steep sloped applications	Initial*	Aged*
   minimum solar reflectance	0.25	0.2
   minimum thermal emittance	0.75	0.75
   low sloped applications	Initial*	Aged*
   minimum solar reflectance	0.65	0.5
   minimum thermal emittance	0.75	0.75

3. Any project involving roofing may be subject to additional code compliance requirements. The project stakeholder is fully and solely responsible to meet any such additional requirements.
   *”Initial” is the score for that product when it is newly installed. “Aged” is the score for that product after it has been installed on the roof for three years.
4. Green roofs, also known as ‘vegetated roofs’ or ‘living roofs’— are ballasted roofs consisting of a waterproofing membrane, growing medium (soil) and vegetation (plants) overlying a traditional roof. Well-designed, engineered and maintained green roofs provide multiple benefits in stormwater management, reduced building energy use and urban heat island effect, increase in biodiversity with urban habitat for plants and animals such as birds and insects, as well as extending roof longevity.

Replacement of existing system only. No new cooling systems.
The AHRI Number for the system must be provided to ensure the system meets Energy Star and AHRI minimum values.

Must be included on the Southern California Edison Qualified Product list.
Must be permanently installed through the wall or on the roof. Window installed evaporative coolers are not eligible.
Must have separate ducting system—independent of the air conditioning and heating duct system.
Can be single stage or two stage system that:

1. Has UL recognized electrical components;
2. Comes with a water quality management system that provides positive removal of sump water on a regular interval (a bleed system is not allowed);
3. Have a single duct or multi ducted distribution system;
4. Have either:
   1. A multi-function manual control switch, which offers high and low fan speed, pump on or off and the unit control of on or off; or
   2. A thermostat specifically designed for evaporative coolers, which automatically control the unit operation based on the indoor temperature, fan speed, and pump operation. The automatic thermostat must be mounted remotely from the cooler. Pressure relief dampers are required.

Energy Star labeled:

• Opaque ≤0.21 U Factor and no required rating for SHGC,
• ≤ ½-lite ≤0.27 U-Factor and ≤0.30 SHGC
• ½-lite ≤.32 U-Factor and ≤0.30 SHGC

A copy of the NFRC label will be required with the Completion Certificate.

Hot water delivery options as defined by the Energy Star “Volumetric Hot Water Savings Guidelines:”

1. Dedicated recirculating Line—This method of re-circulating hot water requires specially designed plumbing where the hot water pipe from your water heater is plumbed to each fixture in a loop fashion, and then continues back to the water heater through a third line (return line). A small pump re-circulates the hot water in a continuing loop, only shutting off with a timer or thermostat.
2. Whole house manifold systems—Whole house manifold systems, also called parallel pipe or home run systems, use small diameter, flexible pipes that run directly to each individual fixture from a central manifold located near the water heater. The manifold may be either plastic or metal, and the piping consists of flexible plastic piping such as PEX, which is a high- temperature, flexible polymer pipe. For example, bathroom sinks and showers would be on their own hot water line from the water heater.
3. Demand initiated recirculating systems—The user initiates demand-initiated recirculating systems by pushing a button or via a motion sensor located near the hot-water fixture. Pumps are used to send cold water in the pipes back to the water heater through a dedicated return line or the cold water line and pull hot water from the water heater to where it is needed. When the pump is operating, a sensor measures a change of temperature and turns the pump off when the desired temperature change is met.
4. Core plumbing systems—A core plumbing system is a system that has a central plumbing core, where the kitchen, the bathrooms, and the laundry room are in close proximity and the water heater is centrally located beneath the central plumbing core. The system is designed to minimize the total volume of pipe by limiting run lengths and designing the system in a tree-like structure with trunks, branches, and twigs, where longer pipe lengths have a much smaller pipe diameter.
