PLAN REVIEW

Your plan will be reviewed by a Residential Energy Specialist (HERS Rater) to determine energy efficient design, generate a preliminary rating, perform an improvement analysis, and provide a list of cost effective energy upgrades to help the home reach the Energy Star level.

INSPECTIONS

SW-HER will perform a pre-insulation inspection to review framing details, air sealing issues, quality of duct layout and sealing, and pin-point any other areas that might negatively effect the performance of the Home.  Pre-Drywall inspections are also done to determine the quality of insulation installation on all  insulated surfaces.

FINAL INSPECTION

The Blower Door Test is performed to determine the tightness of the home and determine major areas of air leakage.  A Duct Leakage Test also is performed to determine the tightness of the air supply system. A final visual inspection of all components that impact energy use is also done at this time.

FINAL REPORTS & CERTIFICATE

A Home Energy Rating packet is issued. It includes the Home Energy Rating Certificate and Report, the Energy Star Certificate, Report and Label, and the Utility label outlining the efficient features of the home. Other reports will be issued as needed for code compliance, financing, etc.
