Why Clarksville property owners choose HECS for EarthCraft Certification

Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Tennessee trust HECS for third-party EarthCraft Certification because we deliver:

  • NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current NCI Certified Commercial Air Balancer credentials. The person who takes the readings is the person who signs your report.
  • Fixed-fee proposals in 24 hours — not estimates, not time-and-materials. We quote travel cost up front, so the invoice matches the proposal.
  • Reports that pass program review — ENERGY STAR, NGBS Green, EarthCraft, 45L IRS Form 8908, FORTIFIED IBHS submission, code-official review. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
  • Local code expertise — Clarksville projects reference the 2018 International Building Code with Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance amendments. Energy compliance follows the 2018 IECC with Tennessee-specific overlays. THDA requires NGBS Green certification for LIHTC-funded multifamily in Montgomery County; Fort Campbell-area housing frequently targets NGBS Green or EarthCraft.
  • One project manager for the whole job — TAB, blower door, energy cert, FORTIFIED: we coordinate scheduling so you make one phone call, not five.
