Energy Code Compliance

Energy Code Compliance Made Easy

Navigating energy code requirements can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. At Iron Phoenix Inspections, 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.

UA Trade-Off / Performance Path

Use energy modeling to balance trade-offs between systems. Great for design flexibility.

ERI Path (Energy Rating Index)

Compares your home’s ERI or HERS Index score against code targets. Requires certified third-party testing and is ideal for builders pursuing high-performance or ENERGY STAR certification.
