Beyond Blower Door & Duct Testing

In addition to blower door and duct leakage testing, the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) requires several other verification measures to ensure a building meets energy efficiency standards. At Assured Building Compliance (ABC), we provide comprehensive field inspections and performance testing to support full IECC compliance.

Other Testing Services

Mechanical Ventilation Verification:

Proper ventilation is critical for indoor air quality and energy performance. We verify that mechanical ventilation systems are:

  • Installed according to design specifications
  • Delivering required airflow rates per code
  • Properly balanced and operational

This ensures compliance with IECC and standards such as ASHRAE 62.2.

Air Barrier & Insulation Inspection:

Before drywall installation, we perform detailed inspections of the building envelope to confirm:

  • Continuous air barrier alignment
  • Proper insulation installation (Grade I or II where required)
  • Sealing of penetrations, joints, and transitions

This step is essential to prevent energy loss and avoid costly corrections later.

Fenestration & Envelope Compliance:

We verify that all windows, doors, and skylights meet IECC requirements, including:

  • U-factor and SHGC ratings
  • Proper labeling and installation
  • Compliance with approved plans and energy calculations
Lighting & Electrical Efficiency Verification:

For residential and commercial projects, we inspect lighting systems to ensure:

  • High-efficacy lighting requirements are met
  • Controls (timers, dimmers, occupancy sensors) are installed where required
Thermostat & Controls Verification:

We confirm that programmable or smart thermostats are:

  • Installed per IECC requirements
  • Properly configured for energy-saving operation
Equipment Efficiency Verification:

We review installed HVAC and water heating equipment to ensure:

  • Minimum efficiency ratings meet IECC standards
  • Equipment matches approved submittals and energy models
  • Documentation & Compliance Reporting
All inspections are documented and compiled into a compliance report suitable for:
  • Building department approvals
  • HERS rating submissions
  • Energy Audits

It’s Not Just for Compliance !!

IECC compliance is not just about passing inspections—it ensures:

  • Lower energy bills
  • Improved occupant comfort
  • Reduced environmental impact
  • Faster project approvals
  • Building durability
  • Increased resale values
