+# Add Infiltration Notes
+
+## Overview
+
+This proposal is to add `auc:AirInfiltrationNotes` and `auc:WaterInfiltrationNotes` elements to meet SPC 211 Standard for Commercial Building Energy Audits requirements.
+
+## Justification
+
+SPC 211 Standard for Commercial Building Energy Audits section 6.2.1.2.e states
+> Results of assessment of the enclosure’s overall tightness against air infiltration/exfiltration, coordinated with the assessment of building ventilation per Section 5.4.5.2(n), including a statement of the auditor’s methods used, criteria, evidence, and basis of evaluation (Assessment shall include an overall condition rating on a scale of 1 [poor = high infiltration/exfiltration] to 3 [excellent = tight, low infiltration/exfiltration].)
+
+Currently there's no way for users to specify methods/criteria/evidence etc of the infiltration assessment. This new element addresses this need.
+
+## Implementation
+
+Add optional elements `auc:AirInfiltrationNotes` and `auc:WaterInfiltrationNotes` to `auc:AirInfiltrationSystem` and `auc:WaterInfiltrationSystem`, respectively.
