"We will be releasing to ANSI [American National Standards Institute] the public review version of the Quality Installation Specification soon," said Hourahan. "It will take about two more weeks before it is announced by ANSI. At the same time ACCA will be doing a release soon, advising how folks can get a copy and submit comments."
The HVAC Quality Installation Specification was written, as it states in the draft's foreword, "with the intent to improve the core competencies of contractors to ensure that quality installations occur." For more than a year, a coalition of contractors, OEMs, utilities, and industry associations collaborated to establish a set of nationally accepted requirements for quality contractors (QC) and quality installations (QI).
