"Energy Diagnostics keeps us on our toes and ahead of the game! We began working with Energy Diagnostics in 2000, as they certified our new construction homes to the Energy-Star® program. In late 2008, it was a smooth transition to the NAHB Guidelines and then to the National Green Building Standard. Everything is handled with professionalism and integrity; from pre-scoring to scheduling to inspections and follow-through with NAHB. Ample notice is given when changes are happening to codes or standards. These guys are passionate about what they do, and they do it well."
