BA-PIRC Partnership with
Spain & Cooper Construction
Gainesville, FL

BA-PIRC subcontractor, Florida H.E.R.O., has been working with this builder since 1998. This high performance builder’s commitment was one of the first to implement the method of installing ductwork beneath the ceiling plane. In 2009, design review, Thermal Bypass Inspection Checklist (TBIC), tax credit and site visits for quality assurance were completed. Technical support and assistance was also provided for a high performance home with unvented attic. This builder was introduced to the Building America Builders Challenge, and a commitment to accept the Challenge was received. In 2010, consultations with builder were conducted to review preliminary plans for a new home that will have an unvented attic. The design review was completed in April.
