Energy Efficiency Certificate Now Available for Download

Your Home Builders Association of Greenville, in cooperation with the Home Builders Association of South Carolina, has developed a model certificate for members to download and use to comply with the new Energy Efficiency Conservation Code (IECC).

The IECC, which was effective July 1, 2009, requires that the home builder place a label in the electrical service panel of all new homes stating the efficiency details of the new home. The label can be downloaded in the Library area of the Members-Only section of www.hbaofgreenville.com. The label is set up to use Avery Label 6876, which can be purchased from any office supply store.

This is an exclusive benefit of membership of the Home Builders Association of South Carolina and the Home Builders Association of Greenville.
