Free Webinar on Why Proper Insulation Installation Matters Presented by the Insulation Institute Thursday, August 10, 2017, 3:00 PM Eastern Using a three-grade approach developed by RESNET, HERS® raters are trained to assess the quality of insulation installation. Grade I is the best, while Grade III the worst. In order to properly rate the quality of the installation of insulation HERS® raters must thoroughly understand between the different grades of the quality of the installation of the insulation. According to the Insulation Institute, a project of NAIMA (North American Insulation Manufacturers Association), not meeting the Grade I criteria is commonplace. In fact, in a recent field survey, the US Department of Energy found only about half of all homes had Grade I quality. The bottom line is, even if a builder’s contract with the insulation installer says that the product will be installed “per manufacturer specifications”, this is too often not happening. How does this impact the HERS® rating? Join us for this free webinar, “Why Proper Insulation Installation Matters” presented by Jordan Doria of NAIMA. In the webinar you will learn: The business case for why insulation installation matters The effects that not achieving Grade I installation have on a home’s HERS® Index score The costs of different insulation installation approaches Access the “Quality Management” checklist to help builders, raters and insulation contractors collaborate to deliver proper, Grade I installations While the webinar is free you must preregister.
