WHAT THE RATING IS什么是 ECC 评级

The compliance record your permit closes on许可证结案所依据的合规记录

An ECC rating is not a design document and it is not an opinion about the building. It is the field record that says the energy measures called for in the approved compliance documents were actually installed, and that they were tested where testing is required. The building department keeps it on file. Without it, the permit stays open.ECC 评级不是设计文件,也不是对建筑的主观评价。它是一份现场记录,用以说明已获批合规文件所要求的节能措施确实已经安装,且在要求测试的地方已经完成测试。建筑主管部门将其存档。缺少这份记录,许可证就无法结案。

Scope is driven by the project's own CF-1R. That document lists which measures were claimed on the compliance path — insulation quality, envelope air leakage, duct leakage, fan efficacy, refrigerant charge — and each listed measure becomes something the rater has to verify in the field. Two houses of identical size can need completely different test sets depending on what their reports claimed.服务范围由项目自身的 CF-1R 决定。该文件列出了合规路径中所申报的措施——保温质量、围护结构气密性、风管泄漏、风机效能、制冷剂充注——每一项申报措施都成为评级师必须在现场核验的内容。两栋面积相同的住宅,因报告申报内容不同,所需的测试项目可能完全不同。

We record what we measure. If a duct system leaks more than the allowance, or insulation placement does not meet QII criteria, or a fan is moving less air than specified, that goes on the form with the measured value. Findings come with what has to change, and in most cases the correction is targeted enough that we only return to re-verify that one measure.我们如实记录实测结果。如果风管系统泄漏超过允许值、保温铺设不符合 QII 标准、或风机风量低于规定值,这些都会连同实测数值一并写入表格。我们会同时说明需要整改的内容,且多数情况下整改范围足够具体,我们只需返场复核该项措施。

Timing is where projects most often get stuck. Quality Insulation Inspection has to happen after insulation is in but before drywall or other finishes close the cavity — once the work is concealed it cannot be inspected without opening it back up. Send your construction schedule when you book and we will flag which measures need a slot before the next trade closes the work.项目最容易卡住的环节是时间安排。保温质量检查必须在保温安装完成后、石膏板或其他饰面封闭腔体之前进行——一旦工程被封闭,不拆开就无法检查。预约时请提供施工进度表,我们会指出哪些措施必须在下一道工序封闭之前安排。

DOCUMENTATION文件记录

The forms, and who signs what相关表格与签署责任

Three certificates carry a residential project through energy compliance. Confusing them is the most common reason a permit stalls at final.住宅项目的能源合规流程涉及三份证书。混淆它们是许可证在最终验收阶段停滞的最常见原因。

CF-1RCertificate of Compliance — Residential. Produced from the Title 24 calculations, it lists the measures the project claims. This is the document that sets our field scope. See Title 24 reporting ↗住宅合规证书。依据 Title 24 计算生成,列出项目所申报的措施。这份文件决定了我们的现场核验范围。查看 Title 24 报告服务 ↗
CF-2RCertificate of Installation — Residential. Completed by the installing contractor to declare what was actually installed: equipment model numbers, insulation product and R-value, duct configuration. We review it against the CF-1R before testing.住宅安装证书。由施工承包商填写,声明实际安装的内容:设备型号、保温产品与 R 值、风管配置。我们会在测试前将其与 CF-1R 进行核对。
CF-3RCertificate of Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing — Residential. Ours. The rater enters measured values for each required measure, signs, and this is what the building department files to close the permit.住宅现场核验与诊断测试证书。由我们出具。评级师为每项必要措施填入实测数值并签字,建筑主管部门据此存档并关闭许可证。
Typical sequence常规顺序CF-1R with the permit application → CF-2R as work completes → QII before cavities close → diagnostic tests at system completion → CF-3R signed at final.CF-1R 随许可申请提交 → 工程完成时提交 CF-2R → 腔体封闭前完成 QII → 系统完工时进行诊断测试 → 最终验收时签署 CF-3R。

GOOD QUESTIONS常见问题

ECC rating questionsECC 评级常见问题

Four we get most often on field verification. The full set is on the FAQ page.以下是现场核验中最常见的四个问题。完整列表请见常见问题页面。

Is ECC testing the same thing as HERS testing?ECC 测试与 HERS 测试是一回事吗?

They overlap but they are not identical. HERS is the broader California rating and verification framework; ECC — Energy Code Compliance — is the field verification subset that a building department requires before it will close a permit. Every ECC rating is HERS work, but not every HERS service is required for code compliance. What your project needs is set by the measures listed in its approved CF-1R, not by the label on the service.两者有重叠但并不完全相同。HERS 是加州更宽泛的评级与核验体系;ECC(能源规范合规)是建筑主管部门在关闭许可证前要求的现场核验部分。每项 ECC 评级都属于 HERS 工作,但并非所有 HERS 服务都是规范合规所必需的。您项目所需的内容由其已获批 CF-1R 中列出的措施决定,而不取决于服务的名称。

What actually happens during an ECC field visit?ECC 现场检查具体做什么?

The rater confirms what was installed matches what the compliance documents called for, then runs the tests those documents require. Depending on scope that means opening cavities to review insulation placement and alignment, setting up a blower door to measure envelope leakage, pressurising the duct system to measure leakage to outside, measuring fan airflow and efficacy at the ventilation fans, and verifying refrigerant charge on cooling equipment. Measurements are recorded as found, not as assumed.评级师先确认实际安装内容与合规文件的要求一致,然后执行这些文件所要求的测试。根据范围不同,这可能包括打开腔体检查保温铺设与贴合、架设鼓风门测量围护结构渗漏、对风管系统加压以测量向外泄漏、在通风风机处测量风量与效能,以及核验制冷设备的制冷剂充注。所有数值均按实测记录,而非按假定填写。

When in the construction schedule does ECC testing have to happen?ECC 测试必须安排在施工进度的哪个阶段?

Timing is the part that most often causes problems. Quality Insulation Inspection has to happen after insulation is installed but before drywall or other finishes close the cavity — once the work is concealed it cannot be inspected without opening it back up. Duct and envelope testing have their own prerequisites around system completion. Send the construction schedule when you book and we will flag which measures need a slot before your next trade closes the work.时间安排是最容易出问题的环节。保温质量检查必须在保温安装完成后、石膏板或其他饰面封闭腔体之前进行——一旦工程被封闭,不拆开就无法检查。风管与围护结构测试也各有其关于系统完工的前置条件。预约时请提供施工进度表,我们会指出哪些措施必须在下一道工序封闭之前安排。

What if the installed work does not pass?如果已安装的工程未通过核验怎么办?

We report what we measured rather than adjusting to make it pass. If duct leakage is over the allowed limit, insulation placement does not meet QII criteria, or airflow is short of the requirement, you get the finding, the measured value, and what has to change. In most cases the correction is targeted — resealing a specific run, adding material to a specific cavity, adjusting a damper — and we return to re-verify only that measure.我们如实报告实测结果,而不会为了通过而调整数据。如果风管泄漏超过允许限值、保温铺设不符合 QII 标准、或风量未达到要求,您会收到具体问题、实测数值以及需要整改的内容。多数情况下整改范围很具体——重新密封某一段风管、在某个腔体补加材料、调整某个风阀——我们只需返场复核该项措施。
