Proposed Addendum 43 amends the MINHERS® Chapter 5 to add an alternative date to the Building Permit Date for required implementation of amendments to the MINHERS® standards. There are instances when a permit date does not exist or cannot be found so an alternative date for when ratings must be based on new amendments is needed. RESNET’s MINHERS® standards need to conform to conventions used in its ANSI/RESNET/ICC standards and in building codes where requirements are not established via definitions. The amendment moves substantive requirements from definitions to the requirements sections. The amendment also provides more flexibility for software providers to update accredited software for large amendments such as the 3 (previously 5) year Updates to standards.

Tips and Reminders for Submitting Public Comments Comments must include a specific proposed change to the text of the draft open for comment. Proposed added text must be underlined and text proposed to be removed must be shown using strike-through. If not submitted in this format, the public comment may be rejected If you submit public comment representing the collective interests of a group of stakeholders, you are encouraged to submit ONE public comment and identify all stakeholders in that comment. While not required, this expedites the ability of the committees to respond to commenters in a timely manner. Public comments are reviewed by committees with volunteer members, that are Raters, Providers, Software Developers and other industry and public interest stakeholders. They are not reviewed by RESNET Staff. Most amendments to RESNET standards are proposed by industry and public stakeholders not RESNET.
