SUMMARY
Energy code inspections confirm that a building, as constructed, meets IECC requirements and any applicable local amendments. We review envelope, mechanical, and lighting elements during construction and prior to final inspection to help projects move through compliance smoothly.
Our role is to ensure that what’s built in the field matches what was approved at permit.
This service commonly works alongside:

WHAT ARE ENERGY CODE INSPECTIONS?
Energy code inspections are on-site field verifications tasked in
multiple areas.
They confirm that:
Installed materials match approved permit documentation
IECC requirements are met
Local municipal inspection amendments are satisfied
COMcheck, REScheck, or energy modeling aligns with actual construction
In other words, we verify that the building was constructed in
accordance with the energy code requirements before the city
inspector arrives.
These energy inspections help avoid failed final inspections, late-stage corrections, and delays in the certificate of occupancy process.
WHAT WE INSPECT
We verify that envelope components align with approved plans and energy documentation.
These include:
Our energy inspectors confirm that mechanical systems are installed as documented.
These include:
We review lighting systems for compliance with energy inspection requirements.
These include:
Basic functionality is verified. Detailed testing is available under Lighting Controls Testing.
Comparison between site conditions with the selected compliance documentation.
We compare:
This ensures alignment before an official municipal inspection or program review.
If you’re unsure whether third-party energy inspections are required, we can quickly
review your jurisdiction and confirm expectations.
To confirm that envelope and system installations are correct before they are concealed.
To catch issues early and prevent delays in turnover or certificate issuance.

Some Texas municipalities require third-party verification of specific energy components as part of local processes or green building overlays.

AIR LEAKAGE & DUCT LEAKAGE REQUIREMENTS
Many projects require blower door testing and/or duct leakage testing to
meet IECC requirements. These tests verify that the building envelope and
duct systems meet allowable leakage limits and are often required prior to
final inspection.
We can coordinate these tests alongside your code inspections to keep the compliance process efficient and aligned with the selected code path.

Air Infiltration Testing (Blower Door Testing)
Duct Leakage Testing
WHY ENERGY CODE INSPECTIONS MATTER
Energy code inspections create alignment between design, construction, and
compliance, saving time and avoiding rework.
Reduces the risk of last-minute corrections and provides clarity around compliance expectations.
Confirms that energy-related design intent is executed accurately in the field.
Delivers clear punch lists and actionable guidance before the official municipal inspection.
Ensures projects meet IECC requirements and any local energy or green building standards.

Our energy inspectors perform envelope, mechanical, and lighting control verifications during construction and at closeout.
You receive a concise findings list, including photos when helpful.
Once items are addressed, we issue updated documentation suitable for closeout or submission
