WAC 51-11-1331   General.  Buildings or structures whose design heat loss rate (UA_p) and solar heat gain coefficient rate (SHGC*A_p) are less than or equal to the target heat loss rate (UA_t) and solar heat gain coefficient rate (SHGC*A_t) shall be considered in compliance with this section. The stated U-factor, F-factor or allowable area of any component assembly, listed in Tables 13-1 or 13-2, such as roof/ceiling, opaque wall, opaque door, glazing, floor over conditioned space, slab on grade floor, radiant floor or opaque floor may be increased and the U-factor or F-factor for other components decreased, provided that the total heat gain or loss for the entire building envelope does not exceed the total resulting from compliance to the U-factors, F-factors or allowable areas specified in this section.
