While all builders strive to build comfortable, safe, durable, and efficient homes, how can homebuyers be certain that the builder achieved that goal?
By having a HERS rating performed on the homes you build, you can communicate to your homebuyers that comfort, safety, durability, and energy efficiency were all tested and verified by a third party independant inspector. Above and Beyond Energy is committed to helping each of its builders meet their goals of durable, safe, comfortable, and energy efficient homes.
Above and Beyond Energy is a HERS Rater based out of Wilmington, NC and provides ENERGY STAR certifications for builders in Myrtle Beach, Wilmington, Hampstead, Leland, Newbern and other coastal communities.
LEED for Homes certifications, NAHB Green certification, and North Carolina Healthy Built Homes certifications are what we specialize in.
So what exactly are the benefits of having an ENERGY STAR certification for the homes you build?
Quality Assurance. This boils down to reduced call-backs, thus reducing the 'true' cost of building a home. This is achieved primarily through testing and inspecting the home's systems and total performance.
- We thoroughly inspect and evaluate the insulation installation.
- We test the HVAC equipment and ductwork to ensure that leakage is within target levels.
- We inspect and advise for typical problem thermal bypass areas.
- We measure the air leakage of the envelope of the home.
- We verify that the combustion appliances are not drafting carbon monoxide into the conditioned space.
- We test the room pressures to ensure that moisture will not be driven into the walls and thus cause peeling paint or mildew.
- By using a HERS rater, you will have less call backs.
- We also provide a host of specialty home diagnostics testing to our builders.
