up-icon.pngWhat is Covered

The ANSI/ACCA 12 QH-2014 Home Evaluation and Performance Improvement (QH Standard) establishes the minimum criteria by which deficiencies in existing residential buildings are identified during a home audit. Improvement opportunities are assessed, scopes of work are developed and presented, and then the work is performed in accordance with industry recognized procedures. 

Course material covers the areas that are commonly taught in home performance programs from a 12 QH application perspective. This course addresses the requirements for completing a standards-based home performance inspection and gathering of the information required for a comprehensive residential audit.

The ANSI/ACCA 12 QH-2014 Home Evaluation and Performance Improvement was first completed and published in 2011 as the minimum standard for evaluating a residence with regards to energy efficiency, water conservation, occupant comfort, and indoor air quality. The Standard was updated in 2014. The QH Guide & Workbook was designed as a supplement to the 2014 QH Standard for installation technicians.
