Why Dayton property owners choose HECS for NGBS Green Certification

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

  • NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current NGBS Green Certified Verifier (Home Innovation Research Labs) 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 — Home Innovation Research Labs NGBS, FHA / VA / USDA recognized, code-official review. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
  • Local code expertise — Dayton projects reference the 2019 Ohio Building Code (based on 2018 IBC) with Montgomery County local amendments. Energy compliance follows the 2018 IECC; OHFA requires ENERGY STAR or NGBS Green for LIHTC multifamily; many Dayton projects pursue Enterprise Green Communities for affordability.
