§ 2-79. Method of compliance.

A. 

The applicant must submit the results of field tests conducted by a certified HERS rater. A list of certified HERS raters may be obtained from the Department of Buildings. Applicants shall notify the Building Inspector at least 48 hours prior to conducting any field test.

B. 

The testing and verification requirement may be waived by the Commissioner of Buildings upon the receipt of certification by the certified HERS rater that no testing or verification protocol and procedure can be applied accurately in a particular building configuration.

C. 

The Town personnel retain the right to be present at any HERS inspection or to conduct any HERS test or any portion of said test as part of the Building Department inspection and certification process and/or for auditing and control purposes.

D. 

The Building Department retains the right to reject certification based on the Commissioner's, or any of his designees' (i.e., all management and inspection personnel's), information and belief that any portion of the HERS test was incomplete, incorrect, insufficient or untimely. The Building Department retains the right to perform repeat inspections as needed, as determined by Building Department personnel. The Town of North Hempstead is not responsible for any costs associated with the HERS testing, inspection, and/or certification process.
