The Verified™ process is designed for homeowners, HVAC contractors, builders, architects, raters, and industry professionals who want measurable building and HVAC performance instead of assumed performance.
Developed by HVAC 2 Home Performance, the Verified™ process creates accountability between:
- HVAC design
- installation quality
- commissioning
- building performance
- and measured operational results.
Instead of relying solely on equipment efficiency ratings, code minimums, or rule-of-thumb sizing, the Verified™ process validates how the home and HVAC system actually perform under real-world operating conditions.
Verified™ for Homeowners
The Verified™ process helps homeowners improve:
- comfort
- humidity control
- airflow
- indoor air quality
- energy performance
- and long-term HVAC reliability
through testing, commissioning, and verified operational performance.
Rather than simply replacing equipment, the Verified™ process evaluates how the entire home and HVAC system operate together as one building performance system.
Verified™ for HVAC Contractors
The Verified™ process helps HVAC contractors transition from equipment-focused installation practices toward performance-based HVAC delivery.
This includes support for:
- Design Verified™
- Installed Per Design™
- Performance Verified™
- commissioning
- airflow verification
- and operational performance testing
to help contractors deliver measurable and verifiable system performance.
Verified™ for Builders & New Construction
Builders and new construction teams use the Whole Home Performance Verified™ pathway to align:
- HVAC design
- ERI energy modeling
- insulation strategy
- ventilation planning
- air sealing
- commissioning
- and field verification
into one coordinated building performance process.
This helps reduce the gap between predicted energy performance and measured operational performance.
Verified™ for Existing Homes
Existing homes may enter the Verified™ process through the Permanent Load Reduction Plan Verified™ and Permanent Load Reduction Verified™ pathways.
These pathways focus on:
- identifying thermal deficiencies
- reducing unnecessary heating and cooling loads
- improving building performance
- and validating measured operational outcomes
before oversized HVAC replacement becomes the default solution.
Verified™ Is for Performance-Focused Projects
The Verified™ process is for projects that value:
- accountability
- measured verification
- commissioning
- building science
- operational testing
- and long-term performance.
Because true HVAC and building performance should not be assumed.
It should be predicted, verified, and proven.
Predict. Verify. Perform.
