🔹Scope – Commercial Energy Inspector
A Commercial Energy Inspector conducts on-site inspections of commercial buildings and their systems to ensure compliance with the approved construction documents and the adopted Energy Code. This includes verifying proper installation of building envelope systems, mechanical and electrical components, service water heating, and lighting controls. Inspectors must identify which compliance path—prescriptive, performance, or total building—is used and confirm that all installations meet the code’s efficiency and testing requirements for safe and energy-efficient operation.
