What to expect from Momentum…
Typically a home will require 3 inspections when using Building Option Package 1 (BOP 1).
These inspections include the following:
Rough-In Inspection
• Perform duct blaster test – determines that duct leakage falls within required parameters
• Inspect energy seal – ensure all penetrations are caulked and/or foam filled
Building Envelope Inspection
• Verify correct R-Values
• Check for gaps and voids
• Confirm that cavities have been filled with insulation
• Verify window qualifications – backer rod, U factor under.30
Final Inspection – Envelope, HVAC & Lighting
• Verify furnace qualifications and filtering system
• Check required attic insulation is installed properly
• Check crawl space – insulation and vapor barrier installed properly
• Verify heat pump meets HSPF & SEER (AC SEER Only) requirements
• Verify water heater efficient factor of at least .61 gas / .93 electric
• Verify 80% of lighting is ENERGY STAR
• Perform blower door test
Once the Final Inspection is complete Momentum will submit the home for certificate. Momentum will receive your certification certificate, typically within 1 week. Once Momentum receives the final payment, the ENERGY STAR certification certificate will be mailed to you.
Momentum’s goal is to make the ENERGY STAR certification process
simple and efficient!
ENERGY STAR homes are some of the most energy efficient homes on the market today.
