Residental Energy Efficiency Tests

If you are a residential home builder, you know there are Utah energy efficiency testing standards that are required to pass code. In addition, when homes meet certain criteria, you can receive rebates from Rocky Mountain Power and Dominion Energy, that total as much as $900 per house.

Building code trends and consumer awareness have long been pointing to increased energy efficiency requirements for new homes. We use a variety of tests to qualify new homes for utility rebates including Blower Door and a Duct Blaster Tests. For builders looking to qualify for rebates based on (HERS) scores, we supply the needed Energy Modeling and apply for the rebates on behalf of the builder.
