In 90.1-2004, 7.4.5.2 Pool Covers - a pool heated
higher than 90?F required an R12 pool cover. We
can't locate a automated retraction system with
more than an R5. I am trying to determine
exactly what site-recovered energy
constitutes. The project does recover condenser
heat from the chiller to preheat the pool area
DHW and pool make-up water. I believe that
qualifies as site-recovered energy. My question
is does a ground source heat pump or air source
heat pump count as site-recovered energy?
