State Energy Reports

Some building departments require an Energy Report when the building plans are submitted.  The Report calculates the energy efficiency of the building envelope....walls, exterior doors and windows.  Ask your building department what is required to obtain a building permit.  Do they require an Energy Report, Engineer Sealed Plans?  In most states other than California and Florida the building department will accept a Rescheck Energy Report.  Ai can complete this report once you provide specific door, window and equipment answers.  Please call Ai at 321-639-8777 for current Energy Report cost.
