Getting It Right the First Time
New construction is a builder’s only chance to get things right the first time - fixing problems later is much more difficult and expensive, if not impossible. The Northwest ENERGY STAR Critical Details are designed to help builders and their trade partners identify, solve, and prevent problems during the home construction process.
During construction there are certain details critical to the work that sub-contractor and trade partners complete that must be done correctly to assure the home performs. The Northwest ENERGY STAR Homes team has identified these details and designed a process to ensure each project is completed on time, every time. This is not just a checklist; the Northwest ENERGY STAR Critical Details assure defect free work!
To learn more about this process, download the Northwest ENERGY STAR Critical Details Process Explained (below). By instituting the Critical Details Process, you are also addressing the requirements of the Thermal Bypass (download checklist below).
