1 The times are changing. Are you Ready? Infrared A Closer Look Inc. (IACL) has been performing 3 rd party Energy Code inspections since 2008 about 7 years now. IACL now employs 4 inspectors performing Residential and Commercial Energy Code inspections, Green Building Plan Reviews and Inspections, Energy Code compliance reports, Blower Door testing, Duct Pressurization testing and Infrared Energy Audits 2 1
2 3 rd rd party Energy Inspector IECC Residential Energy Inspector Third Party Residential Energy Inspector Residential Energy Plan Reviewer Energy Report generation IECC Commercial Energy Inspector Third Party Commercial Energy Inspector IECC Commercial Plan Review Insp Commercial Energy Plan Reviewer Energy Report generation 3 3 rd rd Party Energy Code Inspections HERS Rater (RESNET / BPI Building Analyst) Blower Door test ASTM E779 10, E , E Duct pressurization test ASTM E1554 / E1554M-13, 13, ASHRAE Level 1 / 2 / 3 Thermographer ANST Level 1, 2 & 3 ASTM C A 4 2
3 Knowledge and proficiency is essential Differences between city building code and 3 rd party inspectors appear. Solution recommendations become part of the inspection process because of time and expertise of the inspector Communication between the builder / contractor and the inspector became easier and earlier in the process. Electronic Media now acceptable 5 The 2015 Energy Code The 2015 IECC changes makes the scope and integration of the inspection process much easier and less complicated. Energy Inspections are finally incorporated into the inspection schedule Requirements are based on weather data for each zone and climate humidity for each area. 6 3
