ENERGY STAR Certification in Indianapolis, IN is delivered by HECS — an NCI-certified, Kentucky-based testing firm serving Indiana and the broader Midwest since 2009.

Travel cost is quoted up front in the proposal and bundled with related projects when possible. We serve Indianapolis Metro.

Why Indianapolis property owners choose HECS for ENERGY STAR Certification

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

  • NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current ENERGY STAR Multifamily Reviewer 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 — EPA ENERGY STAR, RESNET HERS Index, code-official review. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
  • Local code expertise — Indianapolis projects typically reference the 2014 Indiana Building Code with 2019 IECC for energy. IHCDA (Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority) requires NGBS Green certification for LIHTC-funded multifamily developments; ENERGY STAR is broadly adopted.
  • One project manager for the whole job — TAB, blower door, energy cert, FORTIFIED: we coordinate scheduling so you make one phone call, not five.

Frequently asked questions — Indianapolis process + scheduling + code

How quickly can HECS schedule an ENERGY STAR Multifamily certification in Indianapolis?

Most ENERGY STAR Multifamily certifications in Indianapolis schedule within 3-4 weeks of contract signing. The pre-drywall + final inspection + performance testing visits typically take 4-8 weeks total.

Is HECS an active ENERGY STAR Multifamily Reviewer in Indianapolis?

Yes. HECS field technicians hold current ENERGY STAR Multifamily Reviewer credentials and are registered with EPA-recognized oversight organizations. We can submit ENERGY STAR documentation to EPA on behalf of the project team.

What ENERGY STAR performance targets does HECS verify in Indianapolis?

We verify: HERS Index target per ENERGY STAR v3.1 (National + Regional), thermal enclosure checklist (air sealing + insulation), HVAC completion checklist, water management system (per ENERGY STAR Water Management System Certification), and lighting/appliance packages.

How does ENERGY STAR v3.1 differ from v3.0 for Indianapolis projects?

v3.1 adds National + Regional HERS Index targets, a thermal enclosure checklist with separate thermal / air-sealing sections, more stringent water management requirements, and a program-affiliated HVAC checklist. v3.0 projects in Indiana are no longer accepted for new certifications as of 2025.

What if my ENERGY STAR certification fails the on-site test in Indianapolis?

HECS documents the specific failure (HERS Index above target, missing checklist item, water-management gap) and recommends corrective action. Re-inspection is coordinated at no charge for the first re-visit within 30 days. The certification only ships once all requirements pass.

Does HECS submit ENERGY STAR certifications to EPA on behalf of Indianapolis projects?

Yes. We prepare the package, submit to EPA via the Multifamily Reviewer portal, and track the certification label issuance. The certified label can be used in marketing + listings.
