What MaGrann Can Do For You

Initial Plan Review:  A one-time rating from plans and specifications to determine project level upgrade recommendations.  Understand the options and requirements for your project before you commit.

Preconstruction Training:  A half-day orientation to review agreed upgrades and recommended construction details with site crews, subcontractors, and others involved in the design or construction of the project.  We help get everyone aligned for a smooth and successful process.

Pre-Drywall Inspection:  Verifies air sealing and insulation of the foundation, envelope and duct systems, including EPA’s Thermal Bypass Checklist, with installation and compliance recommendations as necessary.  We help you get it right when it’s easiest and most cost effective.

Final Inspection, Testing & Certification:  Determines specific performance characteristics of the house and systems (including building envelope and duct leakage) and final qualification for ENERGY STAR labeling.

Support Services:  Specialized training modules for HVAC; insulation; design, construction and sales personnel; and technical support for resolving construction or performance challenges in participating and non-participating homes.

Beyond ENERGY STAR:  As the energy foundation of the USGBC LEED for Homes program, ENERGY STAR compliance gives you a real jump start toward green certification.  It can also get you well on the way toward Federal Energy Tax Credit eligibility.  To maximize performance and value, consider a fully integrated package of mechanical design, ENERGY STAR labeling, green building certification and quality control support from MaGrann.
