This course focuses on prescriptive quality insulation installation (QII) requirements in the 2025 Energy Code for new single-family and low-rise multifamily buildings of any size, and additions greater than 700 ft².
This presentation will help Designers create design documents that support QII; Energy consultants clarify the requirements and schedule of inspections needed in the field for QII; Contractors coordinate with ECC/HERS raters and subcontractors on inspection dates and other QII requirements; Building departments support QII projects at plan check and inspection to ensure the QII process goes smoothly; ECC/HERS raters communicate with the construction team on how to prepare a project to meet QII requirements during ECC/HERS inspections.
Learning Objectives:
- Designers and architects create projects that meet QII
- Energy consultants clarify the minimum requirements and schedule of inspections the team needs to succeed when the Certificate of Compliance form (CF1R) calls for QII
- Contractors coordinate with ECC raters (formerly known as HERS) and subcontractors on inspection dates and other QII requirements
- ECC raters communicate with the construction team on how to prepare a project to meet QII requirements during ECC inspections
