Core Compliance

Energy Calcs (Energy Calcs)
Required by most building departments to demonstrate energy code compliance. We calculate your home’s projected energy use and help you pass permitting with ease.
Manual J/S/D Reports
HVAC design reports that ensure your system is correctly sized and ductwork is optimized — improving comfort, efficiency, and meeting mechanical code requirements.
EPL Cards (Energy Performance Level)
A Florida-specific document showing the projected energy performance of your home. Required for most residential permits and ideal for builder submittals.

Green Certifications

HERS Index
A standardized energy score for your home, required for ENERGY STAR certification and many green building programs. Lower scores = better performance.
ENERGY STAR Homes
Certified homes that meet EPA standards for energy efficiency, comfort, and durability. A must for builders targeting performance-driven buyers.
LEED for Homes (Pre-Cert)
Documentation and support to help projects qualify for LEED points under the U.S. Green Building Council. We simplify the pre-certification process.
WaterSense
EPA-backed certification for water-efficient fixtures and systems. Often required as part of green building packages and rebate eligibility.
Zero Energy Ready Homes
Consulting and documentation for builders targeting DOE’s ZERH standard — the next generation of high-performance, all-electric homes.

Permitting & Builder Support

Window/Door Compliance
Fast reports showing U-value, SHGC, and wind load compliance for your fenestration package — required in most Florida and IECC jurisdictions.
Permit Packages
We bundle your energy reports, test results, and forms into one submittal-ready package, saving you time and reducing permit rejections.
Builder Efficiency Audits
A pre-construction checklist and analysis to help builders minimize change orders, improve specs, and build smarter from the start.

Incentive Support

Utility Rebate Paperwork
We prepare and submit the technical documents required to claim rebates for energy-efficient upgrades — no hassle for you or your client.
DOE Incentive Reports
Compliance paperwork for Department of Energy programs like 45L tax credits or Zero Energy Ready Homes incentives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are Energy Calculations and why are they required?

Energy Calculations model your home’s envelope and systems to demonstrate compliance with the Florida Energy Code or IECC. Building departments use these reports to verify your design meets minimum performance standards for permitting.

What is included in Manual J/S/D?

Manual J = room-by-room heating/cooling loads;
Manual S = right-sized equipment selection;
Manual D = duct sizing/layout and friction rates.
Together they improve comfort, efficiency, and compliance.

How fast can you deliver?

Typical single-family projects are delivered in 1–3 business days after we receive complete inputs. Complex designs may require more time.

What’s an EPL Card and when is it needed?

The EPL Card is a Florida-specific energy summary required by many residential permit offices. We generate it directly from the approved model.

Do you handle HERS, ENERGY STAR, and LEED?

Yes. We provide HERS Index ratings and support ENERGY STAR Homes and LEED for Homes pre-certification, including documentation and coordination.

Can you assemble a full permit package?

Absolutely. We compile energy models, compliance forms, and third-party results into a single submittal-ready PDF to minimize plan review comments.

What do you need from us to begin?

Architectural plans (PDF/CAD), site address and orientation, window/door schedule (U & SHGC), insulation R-values, and HVAC data if available. If any of these are missing, we’ll advise on acceptable code-based assumptions.

Do you work outside Florida?

Yes. We support IECC jurisdictions nationally through digital submittals and align documentation with local code updates and reviewer expectations.

Can you help us capture rebates and 45L credits?

Yes. We prepare the required technical paperwork for utility rebates and federal programs (e.g., 45L) so owners and builders can claim incentives efficiently.
