Chris Bernhardt Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 One of my on going questions has been concerning our duty in the area of reporting energy/comfort related items and if they are even present in the SOP or rather our Oregon SOP which is similar to the ASHI SOP. Am I correct in assuming that the nature of the insulation and ventilation portions of the SOP do not include performing a visually conducted energy audit? Am I correct in assuming that the nature of the insulation and ventilation portions of the SOP relate to its effects on the condition and performance of fixtures? Fixtures meaning the items of inspection not considered accessory. Do we have any duty under the SOP to report energy/comfort defects and deficiencies not a defect or deficiency of a fixture or rather an item of inspection?

Scottpat Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I don't see how you could report on energy/comfort defect unless an energy audit was performed. This is outside the scope of most if not all inspection standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Scott, NJ is trying to pass a law requiring HI's to do an energy 'audit'; can wait to see this one. Darren www.aboutthehouseinspections.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
