Dallas Energy Inspections
In March 2008, The Dallas City Council passed an ordinance that modified the Dallas Building Code to adopt provisions of the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IEEC) to improved energy efficiency of properties being built and renovated. These modifications designate a proscriptive requirement for specific components to be installed in these properties. They also designated 3rd party Inspector requirement to provide these inspections. 3rd party inspectors are to Home Energy Raters (HERS) or IECC Residential or Commercial Energy Inspectors. A Closer Look Inspection Service has both types of inspectors on staff to meet your Dallas Energy Inspection needs.
Energy efficiency is becoming more important in today's world with higher fuel prices and concerns about global warming. The Dallas Energy Inspections have specific requirements for window glazing U factors, as well as minimum requirements for wall and ceiling insulation values, HVAC duct insulation and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratings (SEER). There are some trade off allow to achieve the desired energy efficiency levels.
