⚠ AUTOMATIC FAIL: Covering insulation with drywall or any other material before the HERS/ECC Rater completes their verification is an automatic FAIL. The only remedies are (1) expose the insulation by removing drywall, or (2) perform a whole-building blower door test demonstrating ≤0.40 cfm/ft² building envelope leakage at 0.3 in. w.g.
⚠ Verify header insulation: single-member window/door headers need R-3 (2×4 framing) or R-5 (other assemblies), or ≥R-2 continuous exterior insulation. Adjust framing/plans to accommodate.
