How RunBrook works with homebuilder teams

We review plans and establish compliance pathways, HERS requirements, and program standards across homes and communities.

Step 1 - Community & Plan Setup

Step - 2 Modeling & Pre-Construction Coordination

We complete plan-based modeling and coordinate requirements to ensure homes are ready for testing and certification.

We perform blower door, duct testing, and HERS ratings in alignment with construction schedules.

Step - 3 Field Testing & Ratings

Step 4 - Documentation & Closeout

We deliver ratings and documentation required for inspections, certifications, and home closings.
