Title: Energy Star Rating - When is it too late? Post by: rbecks on July 16, 2007, 04:56:22 PM We are building a speck house to sell. We now have the house standing and we are going to be installing the roof shingles tomorrow. Is it too late to start the process of getting an energy star rating for the home?
Title: Re: Energy Star Rating - When is it too late? Post by: lizandjer on July 16, 2007, 04:58:18 PM The answer to your question really depends on one thing - whether or not
you have the sheet rock up in your speck home. An energy rater has to inspect the home's insulation prior to sheet rock insulation in order to certify a home as ENERGY STAR. However, we highly recommend getting a rater involved even earlier if possible. Especially with the first ENERGY STAR homes you build, a rater can be extremely valuable in providing guidance as early as the design phase to insure the home passes inspection. Best of luck with your venture. Title: Re: Energy Star Rating - When is it too late? Post by: rbecks on July 16, 2007, 05:02:50 PM How do we find a rater in our area?
Title: Re: Energy Star Rating - When is it too late? Post by: lizandjer on July 16, 2007, 05:05:27 PM We're currently working on adding a feature to our site so that you can
search for a rater by zip code -- however, in the mean time, your best bet would be the below link: http://www.resnet.us/directory/raters.aspx This will allow you to search for a rater by state.
