❑ All heated swimming pools must have an on/off heater switch and require a cover unless over 20%of the heating energy is from
non-depletable sources.Pool pumps require a time clock.
Heating and Cooling Piping Insulation:
❑ HVAC piping conveying fluids above 105 degrees F or chilled fluids below 55 degrees F must be insulated to the levels in Table
2.
