National Green Building Standard (NGBS) certification requires careful coordination across design, construction, and documentation to ensure all performance and verification criteria are met. Without a structured approach, the process can become fragmented across multiple teams and project phases.

We help multifamily developers streamline the entire certification process from early planning through final verification, ensuring that requirements are clearly understood and consistently applied throughout construction. This reduces complexity and supports a more predictable certification outcome.

Blower door testing provides critical insight into a building’s air tightness, which is one of the most influential factors in overall energy performance and code compliance. Even small air leakage pathways can significantly affect efficiency, comfort, and long-term operating costs.

We deliver accurate, timely testing that helps project teams verify performance against code requirements and make informed decisions about where improvements may be needed. The result is greater confidence that the building envelope is performing as intended before final inspection.

Utility allowance accuracy is critical to the long-term viability of affordable housing developments, where even small misalignments can impact both compliance outcomes and financial performance. Because these allowances are often tied directly to assumed energy consumption, they must reflect real-world building conditions rather than generic or outdated estimates.

We provide detailed utility allowance analysis and benchmarking that connects modeled energy performance with actual expected usage patterns. This ensures that allowances are not only compliant, but also grounded in defensible, project-specific data that supports stronger financial planning and long-term stability.

Third-party inspections provide an independent layer of quality assurance that helps ensure construction work aligns with both design intent and applicable energy code requirements. By offering an objective perspective in the field, we help identify discrepancies that may not be visible during day-to-day construction oversight.

Our role is to support builders with detailed, timely field reporting that clearly documents conditions, highlights potential issues, and provides actionable feedback. This helps project teams make informed decisions quickly, maintain compliance, and keep work moving without unnecessary disruption.

HERS ratings provide a clear, standardized measure of a home’s energy efficiency, but achieving a strong score requires coordination from design through construction. Our HERS certification services help builders identify opportunities early, optimize performance, and streamline compliance so projects move forward without delays.

Continuous learning isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we build into everything we do.

Recently, our Training Team led a session for our Multifamily/Commercial Division focused on mechanical ventilation systems. The goal was simple but important: to deepen understanding of how these systems function and why they are such a critical component of high-performing, energy-efficient buildings.

Sessions like this help ensure our teams stay aligned, informed, and equipped to support builders and project partners with confidence and accuracy.

This commitment to ongoing training and development reflects one of our core values: Never Stop Growing. Whether it’s advancing technical knowledge, strengthening collaboration across teams, or staying ahead of evolving building science, we believe growth is a constant process—and one that ultimately leads to better outcomes for the buildings and communities we serve.

Over the past year, the homes we’ve rated have achieved energy savings that deliver significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Earth Day is a reminder that how buildings perform—and how that performance is verified—has a measurable impact.

Through energy code compliance testing, we help ensure homes meet required efficiency standards, supporting lower energy use and improved environmental outcomes across the built environment.

🌎 As we celebrate Earth Day, we are proud to share the results of our commitment to improving building performance for a more sustainable future. These results reflect the cumulative impact of verified savings over the past year. 🌎
