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.
