New Construction

Infinite Energy Solutions conducts third party, energy inspections for builders. These inspections allow builders to effectively promote energy efficiency and green construction practices. Our services allow builders to earn a variety of certifications such as Energy Star and FGBC Green. A HERS Index rating is the foundation of our energy inspections and this tool shows how energy efficient a home is. Infinite Energy Solutions also helps builders meet the current Florida energy code through HVAC duct testing and blower door testing. Not only do we conduct these tests, but Infinite Energy Solutions will help builders prepare for these tests and partner with vendors to help ensure passing results. We offer builders thermal image inspections along with our testing services to help prevent future warranty problems by finding issues behind the walls.

New Construction

Many people believe that a newly-built building will be free from defects. In fact, it is more likely that a newly-constructed building will have defective systems and components than one that has been lived in or otherwise used before. Have Internet Energy Solutions, Inc. inspect your newly constructed home or commercial space before your final walkthrough with your builder to look for defects that your builder may have missed before you take over the property, reassured by the peace of mind we can provide.

CODE COMPLIANCE TESTING

Blower Door & HVAC DUCT Testing

Since 2017, blower door testing has been a code requirement for builders in the state of Florida.  We can help advise the builder, framers, insulators, and other contractors to help ensure the house is tightly built to pass this test. Using technical equipment such as a thermal camera, we can quickly locate areas in the thermal boundary to find air infiltration.  Many energy calculations are using a duct test to help pass the current building code.  Although not required, an HVAC Duct Leakage Test is an alternative way to help builders meet code.

HVAC installers will need to seal the ducts and air handler’s tightly in order to pass this test. Not only will this help builders meet the energy code, but tightly sealed ducts will help the air conditioner unit run more efficiently. Most HVAC contractors know how to seal the ducts to meet this test, however we can work with current HVAC contractors to ensure they will pass the test. When a test fails, we help diagnose the issue so the builder and HVAC contractor knows exactly what to fix.

HERS Index Ratings

The HERS (Home Energy Rating Systems) Index tells you how energy efficient a building is. In fact, it is the industry standard by which energy efficiency is judged.   Ratings are numerical; the smaller the number, the more energy efficient the building.  For example, a home with a score of 75 is considered more energy efficient than one that scores an 85. Infinite Energy Solutions, Inc. specializes in determining HERS Index Ratings, along with duct and blower door testing. One of our certified RESNET HERS   raters will inspect the home you are building or having built to determine its energy efficiency. The number a building scores can help you save the earth while saving money on energy bills and insurance at the same time.
