IECC and LEED Compliance Analysis

The International Energy Conservation Code® (IECC®) establishes minimum requirements for energy-efficient buildings using prescriptive and performance-related provisions.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a very widely used green building rating system globally. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides a framework for healthy, efficient, and cost-saving green buildings.

While LEED certification encompasses a broader range of sustainability aspects, including site, water, energy, materials, and indoor environmental quality, the IECC focuses specifically on energy conservation.

Our subject matter experts are well-versed in the aspects of both the IECC and LEED. This allows us to effectively analyze both new designs and existing buildings. This ensures that your projects not only meet but exceed the highest standards of energy conservation.

HERS Ratings

The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is The Industry Standard for Measuring Energy Efficiency in Homes

Our team of Certified HERS Raters can inspect the structure, appliances, and layout of any home and provide a nationally recognized rating of your home’s energy efficiency with honesty and fairness.

By understanding exactly what goes into a HERS rating and what directly affects energy efficiency in a home, our subject matter experts know exactly what areas to focus on to maintain and increase energy efficiency in any building. Because of our expertise and certification, HERS ratings can be adjusted in real time as developers implement suggested changes and improve their building’s efficiency.
