The International Code Council (ICC) is an organization that sets global guidelines for building safety. As a primary authority in the field, the ICC offers model codes and standards that serve as blueprints for construction and regulations.
At CEEC, we specialize in the IECC, a subset of the ICC, which deals with energy conservation. This results in homes that are durable, healthy, comfortable, affordable, quiet, and eco-friendly. The IECC's approach ensures high-quality standards locally, benefiting individuals and communities alike. Each of our energy raters at CEEC is a certified Residential Energy Inspector/Plans Examiner.

Step 1: Modeling and Planning
One of our certified raters will develop an energy model for your home that compares favorably to its prescriptive geometric twin. An energy model uses specialized software to analyze various factors of the home to predict its energy performance, identify potential inefficiencies, and assess the home's overall energy efficiency. Each jurisdiction requires a different level of efficiency. The builder can choose either the TBP or ERI HERS method of code compliance. Together, the builder and energy rater consider different scenarios, materials, and methods to demonstrate the home will be as energy efficient as the jurisdiction requires.
Step 2: Pre-Drywall Energy Inspection (PDEI)

Energy Code Inspections & Testing
Energy code inspections and testing ensure compliance with energy codes and standards. These inspections verify that a building's energy systems, components, and features meet the requirements outlined in the energy code. The inspections and testing include:
Manuals J, D, & S Load Calculations Load Calcs
Manuals J, D, and S are industry standards used in HVAC design for load calculations, ductwork design, and equipment selection.
