Why Christian County property owners choose HECS for EarthCraft Certification

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

NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current EarthCraft Certified Verifier (Southface Institute) 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 — Southface EarthCraft program submission, state utility rebate coordination. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
Local code expertise — Springfield projects reference the 2018 International Building Code with Illinois Capital Development Board amendments. Energy compliance follows the 2018 IECC; IHDA requires NGBS Green for LIHTC multifamily in Sangamon County.
One project manager for the whole job — TAB, blower door, energy cert, FORTIFIED: we coordinate scheduling so you make one phone call, not five.

What certifications does HECS hold for EarthCraft Certification in Illinois?

HECS is also an IBHS FORTIFIED Home Evaluator, RESNET Certified HERS Rater, ENERGY STAR Multifamily Reviewer, NGBS Green Certified Verifier, and EarthCraft Certified Verifier. Every HECS report is signed by a credentialed technician — never outsourced, never subcontracted for the signature.

We deliver reports in the format your reviewer requires and attend coordination meetings when requested. References from Christian County-area code officials and developers are available on request.

How quickly can HECS start a EarthCraft Certification project in Christian County?

Most EarthCraft Certification engagements in the Christian County metro schedule within 2-4 weeks of contract signing. Pre-construction document reviews and pre-drywall inspections are typically scheduled first; final / performance-test visits follow the contractor close-out schedule. Call (859) 983-7382 with your project timeline and we will confirm availability within 24 hours.

What does HECS do if the building does not pass EarthCraft Certification testing in Christian County?

If a measured value is outside the prescribed tolerance (e.g., ACH50 over the ENERGY STAR 3 ACH target, or duct leakage to outside above RESNET 380 thresholds), HECS documents the failure with photos and identify-codes for the offending building assemblies. We then work with your GC to schedule a targeted re-test of the failed assemblies after sealing. Re-tests are quoted at a fixed fee per visit (most projects pass after one targeted re-seal). Call (859) 983-7382 to discuss a specific failure-mode case.
