ACCA Home Evaluation and Performance Improvement Standard Recognized by ANSI
The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) Educational Institute Standards Task Team announced that ACCA Standard 12 - Home Evaluation and Performance Improvement - is approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
ACCA Standard 12 establishes the minimum evaluation requirements for energy consumption, water conservation, occupant comfort, and indoor air quality in residential buildings. ACCA improved the 2014 version of Standard 12 by treating a home as one system comprised of many interconnected components working together to ensure the home is efficient, comfortable, and healthy. The 2018 version of Standard 12 includes evaluation and improvement procedures promulgated by ACCA, the Building Performance Institute (BPI), and the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET).
