SECTION 10 EXEMPTIONS The requirements of the provisions of the IRR may be waived in favor of the properties, facilities or structures, provided, the exemption shall not be used to circumvent any safety, health or environmental requirements. 10.1

The Local Building Official may exempt the certification of a building project in accordance with Item 4.2.3 if it is deemed that the cost of compliance sufficiently exceeds the life-cycle cost savings. 10.1.1 The life cycle cost of a building project with a service life may be defined as "the total cost of ownership of the item over the service life of the item”. 10.1.1.1

Included in the life cycle cost would be the original manufacturing or construction cost, maintenance and repair costs over the service life, operational costs, replacement cost, cost of money, and any salvage value the item may have. 10.1.1.2. The evaluation analysis of a building or buildings uses life cycle costing to evaluate the various alternatives considered in selecting the rating. 10.1.1.3 The principles of engineering economy are readily applied to this selection process as a method of expressing all of the total ownership costs on an equal basis of comparison. To make these comparisons all costs must be equated on an annual cost basis or on a present worth basis. Engineering economics does this through mathematical equations that recognize the time value of money. 10.1.1.4 It shall be the sole responsibility of the applicant to select for the greenest features of the building. The applicant, whose building project is given exemption, shall follow the provisions of Section 9, and comply with the QCBRS to the maximum extent possible such that the cost of compliance does not sufficiently exceed the building's life-cycle cost savings. Where the plans of any building works or proposed building works have been approved by the Local Building Official to depart or deviate from the approved plans, the architect or professional engineer shall ensure that the building works (with such departure and deviation) are still designed with physical features or amenities, and may be carried out using methods and materials, so that the total score is not less than the minimum Green Point score applicable to those building works.
