Steps
Confirm the builder/rater team's HVAC compliance track selection, since Track B requires a credentialed HVAC contractor while Track A does not
If Track B applies, obtain HVAC installation credentialing through an EPA-recognized H-QUITO (HVAC Quality Installation Training and Oversight Organization)
Coordinate with the project's Energy Rating Company (HERS Rater/Provider) on required inspections and documentation tied to your installed work
Review the current ENERGY STAR Single-Family New Homes National Program Requirements document version in effect for the project
Maintain credential status for the duration of active projects, since Track B home certification depends on the contractor holding a current, valid credential
Known gotchas
Track selection (A vs. B) is a builder/rater-level decision determining whether HVAC contractor credentialing is even required; confirm which track applies before assuming it's mandatory
H-QUITO credentialing is a specific EPA-recognized pathway; a general HVAC license or other certification does not automatically satisfy the Track B requirement
ENERGY STAR program requirement versions update periodically; verify the version number referenced by the specific builder partnership agreement
