Our Codes Testing Services
E3 INNOVATE our team includes two full-time certified Home Raters and $100K worth of advanced testing equipment, ensuring seamless service for the greater Nashville market:
Blower Door Testing – Identify & Reduce Air Leakage
Air leaks in a home can lead to poor energy efficiency, high utility bills, and indoor comfort issues. Our blower door tests measure the airtightness of a home by identifying unintended leaks and areas where energy is being lost. Fixing these leaks helps reduce heating and cooling costs while preventing moisture-related problems like mold and rot.
Duct Blaster Testing – Ensure Efficient Ductwork
Leaky ductwork can cause major inefficiencies in HVAC performance, forcing systems to work harder and increasing energy costs. Our duct blaster test evaluates duct tightness, ensuring that conditioned air is being delivered efficiently throughout the home rather than being lost to unconditioned spaces like attics and crawl spaces.
Manual J & Manual S Calculations
One of the most common issues in residential HVAC design is oversized equipment, which leads to short cycling, high humidity, and inefficient operation. We provide Manual J load calculations to determine the correct heating and cooling loads for each home, and Manual S calculations to select properly sized HVAC equipment. These calculations ensure that HVAC systems operate efficiently, maintaining comfort and indoor air quality while lowering energy costs.
Energy Code Compliance Reports
We understand that builders and contractors need quick and reliable documentation for code inspections. That’s why we provide digital compliance reports within 24 hours of testing. Our reports are easy to understand and include actionable recommendations if adjustments are needed before final inspections.
Third-Party Certifications – ENERGY STAR, HERS Ratings & More
For builders and homeowners interested in high-performance home certifications, we offer testing and verification for HERS scores, ENERGY STAR Certification, and LEED or NGBS compliance. Our team provides mid-construction inspections, design consultations, and post-construction verification to ensure that homes meet high-efficiency building standards.
