All Green Verifiers
eligible to participate as a third party verifier for the Build Green
New Mexico green certification program for residential projects were
notified by the Steve Hale, Director of Build Green New Mexico that the
program would no longer require the Thermal Bypass Checklist as one of
the documents necessary for certification. The basis for the judgement
by the director and his associate certifiers was that the failure of a
checklist item on a Thermal Bypass Checklist would be reflected in the
blower door results and thus the HERS Rating.
Further, the director stated in his guidance that it would make the program less cumbersome. Though
it would take the program some time to update their written guidance
and make it available on their website the new guideline is to be
implemented immediately.
