Call for Committee: Committee for Remote Virtual Inspection for Energy and Water Performance in Buildings Standards
This standard provides criteria for virtual code inspections conducted by performance raters for checking all aspects of permitted construction for compliance with energy codes and other energy-related applicable laws and regulations.
The International Code Council (ICC) is seeking building owners, design professionals, program administrators (e.g. government agencies, utilities, home energy rating companies and residential building energy performance organizations), building officials and state and local governments to apply for the Remote Virtual Inspection for Energy and Water Performance in Buildings Committee (IS-ERVI). Any stakeholder is welcome to apply and ICC membership is not required. The (ERVI) acronym is to be used to identify the committee on the application. Since this is a joint ICC/RESNET standard, appointments to the committee will be made by the ICC Board of Directors and RESNET.
Once appointed, the committee will convene to develop ICC/RESNET 1450 in accordance with ICC’s ANSI Accredited procedures (CP-12A).
What is ICC/RESNET 1450?
ICC and RESNET have joined together in developing ICC/RESNET 1450, a standard that provides guidance for implementing Remote Virtual Inspection (RVI) for energy code compliance and for building water and energy efficiency performance.
It provides criteria for virtual code inspections conducted by performance raters for checking all aspects of permitted construction for compliance with energy codes and other energy-related applicable laws and regulations.
The standard addresses using RVI to inspect a building’s indoor and outdoor water use performance as determined by standard ANSI/RESNET/ICC 850 and to inspect a building’s energy use performance as determined by ANSI/RESNET/ICC 301.
