New homes follow a design-forward, construction-integrated Verified™ pathway that controls performance from day one:
- Pre-construction mechanical design review (Manual J/S/D, ventilation, dehumidification)
- ERI Pre-Drywall Inspection to field-verify load-driving inputs and thermal assemblies
- Installed Per Design verification to ensure the HVAC contractor followed the approved design
- Full system commissioning benchmarked in measureQuick®
- Final ERI Rating generated with actual as-built data
- Verified Home™ certification issued when design, installation, and performance all align
