Energy Advisor For Naramata Builders
Naramata energy advisor for Part 9 builders: RDOS coordination, HOT2000 modelling, Step Code reports, blower-door testing, and as-built files.
Naramata is in Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) Electoral Area E. Send any RDOS building, planning, or inspection instructions with the drawings. I use that project information to define the modelling, reporting, mechanical, and testing scope before work starts. RDOS does not require a mid-construction blower-door test; RDOS previously offered a grant of up to $400 toward the cost but stopped accepting new applications after June 27, 2023. I still recommend testing before drywall so leaks can be found and sealed while they are accessible.
My Naramata work follows three stages: Pre-Construction Energy Modelling and Reporting, Mid Construction Blower Door Testing, and Final As-Built Blower Door Testing and Reporting. The mid-construction visit gives the crew time to find and seal leaks, learn from the problem areas, and check progress toward the final target. A CSA F280 block-load heat-loss and heat-gain calculation is included at no additional charge with every pre-construction compliance package.
Send the drawing set or share link, Naramata address, current stage, target permit or inspection date, and RDOS comments already received. I serve Naramata and communities throughout the Okanagan.
RDOS lists Naramata in Electoral Area E for building inspection services. Send current RDOS instructions with the drawings because permit and inspection processes can change.
Keep the energy model tied to the active drawing set.
- Include the site address and legal description if available
- Send RDOS planning, permit, or inspection notes that affect the drawings
- Identify glazing, assemblies, and mechanical systems that are still being selected
- Update me when the approved design changes during construction
Test while the air barrier is accessible.
- Book the mid-construction blower door test (pre-drywall test) before finishes cover the primary air barrier
- Share access instructions and the site contact before the visit
- Have sealing materials and a site lead available when practical
- Request final testing only after the envelope can be tested as completed
What builders ask before booking.
Does Apollo serve Naramata?
Yes. I provide Part 9 energy advisory services for builders in Naramata and throughout the Okanagan.
Which building department handles Naramata?
Naramata is in RDOS Electoral Area E. Send any current RDOS permit or inspection instructions with the drawings.
What should I send for a quote?
Send the drawing set, Naramata address, current stage, target schedule, and any RDOS comments or forms already received.
When is a mid-construction test most useful?
Test while the primary air barrier is installed, visible, and accessible for repairs.
Does RDOS require a mid-construction blower-door test?
No. RDOS previously offered a grant of up to $400 toward the cost but stopped accepting new applications after June 27, 2023. I still recommend testing before drywall so leaks can be found and sealed while they are accessible.
