Comment
Summary
Proponent
403.5.1.1
Section R403.5.3 of the FECC is shown as Prescriptive only and does not specifically require the insulation of recirculation system piping mains. Adding a mandatory requirement to section R403.5.1.1 for R‑3 insulation to recirculation systems saves energy and clears up the confusion.
