IV. OLD BUSINESS  
V. NEW BUSINESS  
Begin review of the Commercial Codes  
Some discussion about the timing of the meetings and questions related to the  
significant changes book were asked at the beginning. Richard Shanker made  
motion to pass over review of the definitions to the BCCC commission as needed.  
Connell 2nd, all approved.  
Richard Shanker made motion to postpone review until significant changes were  
published. Connell 2nd to discuss. Connell reminded that it was important to use  
the time we have to review the material and become familiar with it and the  
changes that are identifiable. Further discussion occurred with respect to  
identifying them by the QR code and Mr. Decker having gone through to create a  
short list of the impactful changes. Called to vote and no votes to postpone were  
received. Moved on to start review today.  
Chapter 3 review began by confirming that Climate Zone did not change. Connell  
asked if there were any Chapter 1 significant items to note. Mr. Decker pointed to  
the Mixed Use applicability and read through the code and gave examples of when  
Commercial vs Residential provisions would apply based on C102.1.1.  
Chapter 4 began the review and as we scrolled through the chapter we talked about  
the key components identified through online code highlights as well as QR Codes.  
Some of which included the following:  
402 and the adding terms to clarify application.  
Discussion of Fenestration and what it was by definition and how values have been  
modified as well as Vertical fenestration added.  
Table 402 on Thermal envelope requirements was looked at with respect to  
changes to Metal Framed walls.  
402.6 Air Barrier Requirements,  
402.6.2 Air Leakage Requirements,  
Formatting changes to the text for readability,  
403 Mechanical systems and the expansion of requirements with the increased  
motor efficiencies and continued improvements in the materials developed.  
403.4 Heating and Cooling system controls.  
403.4.8 Humidification and Dehumidification controls  
403.7.2 Parking garage ventilation requirements,  
403.7.5 Kitchen Exhaust Systems and Demand Control Ventilation requirements,  
403.12.3 Refrigeration systems,  
405 Electrical power and lighting systems  
While discussing this chapter it was agreed upon to send 405.13 to the larger BCCC  
committee for review as it dealt with Energy Monitoring requirements which is  
new and may be cost impactive to commercial projects.  
Based on time available it was agreed to stop here and table the remaining content  
to the next meeting in one week to complete the commercial review. Mr. Decker  
will provide a quick list of changes and their impacts ahead of the meeting for  
review due to the computer glitches in this location that we were experiencing.  
Richard Shanker made motion to “ Table the remaining agenda until the next  
meeting”. Brian Connell 2nd. All in Favor.  
Motion to table the remaining agenda until the next meeting.
