show compliance with the “California Building Energy Standards”.
Why it's important: A study conducted by National Comfort Institute shows that the average HVAC system is only performing at 58% efficiency. Don’t get lumped in with the national average. Prove the high quality and performance of your work with diagnostic testing.

HERS Airflow Remediation Verification
When the required airflow minimum has not been achieved, it may not be the fault of the installing contractor. Sometimes the contractor’s scope of work does not include a new duct system. This is a checklist verification that applies to altered, existing or inaccessible duct. If all of the checklist items have been satisfied, it proves that the contractor has made their best
effort within their scope of work.
The installer shall attempt to correct non-compliant system airflow performing the following remedial actions:
• Check filter or replace
• Open all registers
• Replace damaged duct if possible
• Check and/or clean evaporator coil
• Set air handler fan speed to high
• Check return grille/duct sizes
