Everything You Need to Stay Compliant and Build Better
From energy modelling and certification to blower door testing and trade training — AJEC handles every piece of the energy compliance puzzle, so you don’t have to.
📐
Energy Modelling
SB-12ENERGY STARNet ZeroNBCBCBC
We build detailed performance-path energy models for your homes — finding the most cost-effective route to SB-12 compliance before you break ground. Stop overspending on upgrades you don’t need.
✓ Builders who switch from prescriptive to performance path typically save $3,000–$8,000 per home.
⭐
ENERGY STAR for New Homes
ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STAR homes command higher resale values and stronger buyer confidence. We handle the modelling, documentation, and field verification to get your builds certified — start to finish.
✓ ENERGY STAR-certified homes qualify for preferred mortgage rates and buyer incentives under federal programs.
“Since working with A&J we have surpassed any of our expectations and have had quite a few homes test below 1.00 ACH.” — Tyler Heimpel, Carey Builders Group
🏡
CHBA Net Zero & Net Zero Ready
Net Zero
For builders working on high-performance or green-label projects, we provide the modelling, compliance roadmap, and field support to achieve Net Zero or Net Zero Ready certification under CHBA standards.
✓ Future-proof your builds ahead of 2030 net-zero code targets — and position your homes above the competition today.
💨
Blower Door Testing
Blower Door
Air tightness is the difference between a home that passes and one that doesn’t. Our certified advisors perform on-site blower door tests and provide clear ACH results — with same-day reports when you need them.
✓ Our builders consistently achieve scores of 0.95 ACH or lower — well below the 2.5 ACH code threshold.
“We’ve been able to hit scores as low as 0.95 ACH, something we couldn’t have done without them.” — Eric Jeffery, Jeffery Homes
👷
Site Training
Site Training
Code compliance is built on the job site, not in the office. We run hands-on training sessions for your superintendents and trades — so they know exactly what to do (and what to avoid) to hit target ACH numbers.
✓ Fewer failed inspections, fewer callbacks, and less rework — your trades build it right the first time.
“They’ve kept our site superintendents and trades well informed. Simply put, the A&J team is amazing to work with!” — Antonio Muto, Lakeview Homes
