Process for ENERGY STAR Qualified New Homes
More and more municipalities are requiring new homes to meet ENERGY STAR guidlines. In order to start construction in these areas the builder must produce documentation (detailed drawings and specifications) listing the design and components that are expected to meet current International Energy Conservation 
Code (IECC) compliance. This information is gived to the Energy Rater who inputs it into RESNET approved software which will give the builder a projected rating verifying energy code compliance.
Prior to the installation of the drywall, the Energy Rater will confirm the components listed in the specifications, and the thermal boundry including the insulation.
At the completion of the house the Rater will pressurize the house and the HVAC system to test for leaks and finalize the process. A confirmed rating will be provided at that time.
