Energy Code Compliance

Energy Code Compliance Made Easy — Now with Certified Expertise

Navigating energy code requirements can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. At Iron Phoenix Inspections, we offer certified energy code consulting led by an IECC Residential Energy Inspector/Plans Examiner and IECC/HERS Compliance Specialist. We help builders meet compliance confidently, avoid costly delays, and unlock valuable incentives through trusted utility programs.

Three Proven Paths to Compliance

Energy codes (based on the IECC) offer multiple ways to meet requirements. We’ll help you choose the path that best fits your project:

Prescriptive Path

Follow a fixed checklist of building components like insulation, windows, and HVAC specs. Simple, but less flexible.

Performance Path

Demonstrate overall building energy performance through energy modeling. Provides flexibility to trade off less efficient components with high-performance ones while still meeting code requirements.

ERI Path (Energy Rating Index)

Compares your home’s ERI or HERS Index score against code targets. Requires certified third-party testing—ideal for high-performance and ENERGY STAR-qualified homes.

					Shaw Williams was exactly what we needed in a home inspector. He took a thorough and meticulous approach, even with a nearly fully remodeled home, and was able to uncover multiple issues—including important health and safety concerns—that could have easily been overlooked. Thanks to his detailed inspection, we were able to address these items with the seller and provide my buyer with peace of mind knowing they’re getting a safe, well-vetted home. Kudos to Shaw for a job well done!

					Shawn did my home inspection and he was excellent. On the day of the inspection he was there right on time, and spoke to us about what he was going to be doing, and how long it was going to take. He took his time and he was very thorough in his inspection. He spoke with us after as well and gave a quick summary of what he found throughout the inspection. The next day I received a very in-depth report of the inspection. It was very clear to read and understand, along with photos to back up his documentation. I highly recommend this company!
