Formerly known as the Home Energy Rating System (HERS), the updated Energy Code Compliance (ECC) Program is a required compliance process used to verify that building systems meet California Energy Code (Title-24, Part 6) standards. As ECC-Raters, we verify and test new construction, alterations, and additions across residential and nonresidential development.
Air Balancing involves testing, adjusting, and balancing the distribution of air to the designated zones by an HVAC system. An efficient, balanced HVAC system maintains comfort, reliability, and air quality. Whether it is an office space, residential or commercial kitchen, or schools gymnasium — air balance testing is absolutely necessary to ensure optimal comfort and energy efficiency. We perform comprehensive airflow diagnostics using industry-standard instruments to ensure systems operate efficiently, safely, and in compliance with design specifications.
Specific certifications such as LEED, ENERGY STAR, and GreenPoint Rated recognize a building’s commitment to energy efficiency, sustainability, and healthy qualities. Achieving these certifications require meeting specific standards and performance ratings that our teams are certified and experienced to provide.
Acceptance testing often encompasses the verification of a building system’s installation, functionality, and performance. Verifying a system ensures that it’s performing as designed and as required under California’s Energy Code. Our certified technicians are skilled in conducting Mechanical and Lighting Controls Acceptance Testing for various building types such as multifamily, commercial warehouses, and office spaces.
An energy audit is an analysis of a building to reduce its energy consumption or inefficiencies. Energy audits can reveal a building’s usage patterns and identify areas of improvement, resulting in potential cost-savings and energy efficiency. Some of the audits we provide include ECC Verifications and Tests, Large Compartmentalization (blower door), and BPI Ratings.
