ARLINGTON, Va. — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America Educational Institute (ACCA-EI) Standards Task Team (STT) announced an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) public review period for BSR/ACCA 12 QH -201x, “Home Evaluation and Performance Improvement” as a revised industry standard. The public review period has a comment deadline of Feb. 23, 2014.

ACCA said this revised standard provides minimum criteria by which deficiencies in existing residential buildings are identified by audit, improvement opportunities are assessed, scopes of work are finalized, work is performed in accordance with industry recognized procedures, and improvement objectives are met.

Changes made to the standard draft following the first public review have been consolidated into a three-page document that shows underline for additions and strikethrough for deletions. These red-line changes to the normative portions of the standard (§1 - §7 and Appendix A) are open for review and comment.

The consolidated red-line edits and response form can be found at www.acca.org/ansi. Comments and questions should be addressed to standards-sec@acca.org.
