Yurts

Energy Rating Service helps Yurt owners and prospects when the Building Permit process requires Energy Certification in the residential & commercial market.

The process:
  • The first stop when considering building a new residence (in this case a Yurt) is the local Planning & Zoning and /or the building Dept. requesting a check list of items and fees required to build. 
  • Most of the list items will be satisfied by the Yurt Supplier and you (e.g. title to the land, water rights etc)
  • The yurt provider will supply most of the following: Plan layout, Elevations, Window type, size  and U factors; structural drawings, basically the detail required for permit submission.
  • An important part of the permit is the energy "plan" .. Insulation, heating etc.


This is where Energy Rating Service can help... 
  • WE profile the walls and roof/ceiling 
  • WE help insulate the floor/deck/platform with the proper Reflective materials 
  • Use the ASHRAE R-value model to calculate the appropriate R-values for the entire Yurt
  • Co-ordinate the R-Values with Dept. of Energy's RESCheck process
  • Prepare a compliant submittal package for the permit.  
  • Available to review the Energy documentation with the building official


Next:
  • Submit the documents in the check list, pay the fees and Build
