BA-PIRC Partnership with
Rock Built Homes
Lake Alfred, FL

In 2010, Rock Built Homes made plans to build ten homes that would meet Builders Challenge criteria. This partner was assisted by a local gas company representative to conduct their Energy Star compliance and home energy testing. Calcs-Plus completed the HVAC load calculation followed by a site visit to other homes under construction to review typical installation with builder and provided suggestions for the design to HVAC contractor. In March of 2010, this builder submitted for permitting, and coordinated with FSEC in order to design their homes as cost effectively as possible and still meet BC criteria. However, builders funding for this project expired in May of 2010.
