1. minimum energy-efficient requirements for the design and construction, and a plan

for operation and maintenance of

1. new buildings and their systems,
2. new portions of buildings and their systems,
3. new systems and equipment in existing buildings, and
4. new equipment or building systems specifically identified in the standard that are

part of industrial or manufacturing processes

and

1. criteria for determining compliance with these requirements.

2.2

The provisions of this standard do not apply to

1. single-family houses, multifamily structures of three stories or fewer above grade,

manufactured houses (mobile homes), and manufactured houses (modular) or

1. buildings that use neither electricity nor fossil fuel.

2.3

Where specifically noted in this standard, certain other buildings or elements of buildings

shall be exempt.

2.4

This standard shall not be used to circumvent any safety, health, or environmental requirements.

1.Energy efficiency ratio (EER);
2.Coefficient of performance (COP).

This standard is intended to provide the minimum criteria for the design and installation of solar thermal systems. Futhermore, it describes the requirements and methodology for standardised solar thermal system design evaluation, including the analytical evaluation of its components.

The resulting document provides appropriate protections for health, safety and welfare while avoiding unnecessary restrictions on the use of new materials, technologies or designs.

This document is to be read in conjunction with the ICC 900/SRCC 300-2020 Solar Thermal System Standard substituting the relevant clauses of the CAD in the ICC as applicable.

This standard does not apply to organizations such as government ministries, regulatory departments and agencies, associations and statutory bodies that do not provide a tourism related service.

a) Self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) of voltages > 50 V;

b) Integrated light-emitting diode lamps (LEDi) for stable operations, intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having a:

1. rated power ≤60 W;
2. rated voltage of > 50 V a.c ≤ 250 V a.c.

This standard outlines the compulsory requirements for these products as well as the mechanisms to demonstrate compliance to these requirements. This document also includes measures to be taken in the event of non-compliance.

NOTE 1
This standard does not apply to semi-integrated (LEDsi) and non-integrated (LEDni) light-emitting diode lamps.

NOTE 2
The nominal supply voltages declared by the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) in their publication entitled “Wiring for Light and Power” are 115 volts, with a relative tolerance of ± 6 % and 230 volts, with a relative tolerance of ± 6 %. The Electricity Supply Rules made under Section 15 of the Electricity (Inspection) Act Chapter 54:72 provides for variations of six percent above or below the declared voltages.

a) Self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) of voltages > 50 V;
b) Integrated light-emitting diode lamps (LEDi) for stable operations, intended for domestic and similar general lighting purposes, having a:

1) rated power up to 60 W;
2) rated voltage of > 50 V a.c up to 250 V a.c.

Note: This standard does not apply to semi-integrated (LEDsi) and non-integrated (LEDni) light-emitting diode lamps.
