Metal framed homes in California may pursue LEED for Homes certification. Since Title-24 doesn\'t allow metal-framed homes to earn credit for the insulation inspection, no credit should be granted in the model used for LEED for Homes. However, an insulation inspection must be conducted - following either the ENERGY STAR thermal bypass inspection checklist or the California QII procedures. All other CA Energy Star requirements must be met, including especially the proper sizing of the HVAC equipment. Blower door testing must be conducted for metal-framed homes; the default leakage rate cannot be assumed. The test results must meet or exceed what is input into the model. If the home underperforms, either the model must be changed and re-run or the builder must remedy the problem and have the home re-tested.
