Proposed Standard BSR/RESNET/ICC 301-2022 Addendum A-202x amends the 2022 edition of Standard 301 to add a new Minimum Rated Feature and correct oversights in ANSI/RESNET/ICC 301-2022. The new MRF is the ownership status of Renewable Energy Certificates. The new MRF would only have to be determined when a Renewable Energy System is present, the System’s onsite power production is included in the determination of energy ratings and there are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) associated with the System. If all the conditions apply the ownership status must be documented as “retired, retained ownership, sold/transferred, none associated with system, or Unknown”. The amendment also adds a definition for Renewable Energy Certificate and modifies the definition of Infiltration Volume for clarity and consistency with standard ANSI/RESNET/ICC 380-2022. (Note: Standard 301-2019 recently became the basis for calculation RESNET HERS® Index ratings so Standard 301-2022 will not take effect for the HERS® soon. Addendum A is intended to ensure Standard 301-2022 is consistent with the standards adopted by the MINHERS® Addendum 65 for the current RESNET HERS® when that transition occurs.)

Comments on portions of draft PDS-01 where no change is indicated will be rejected. 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. Do not submit comments on standards other than this one that is out for public comment. 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.
