IN 2023, SOUTHFACE COURSES IMPACTED 1,367 PEOPLE. EARTHCRAFT IS A BUILDER-FOCUSED TRAINING AND SUSTAINABLE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM THAT WAS CO-DEVELOPED WITH THE GREATER ATLANTA HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION TO ADDRESS THE UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST. EARTHCRAFT ENSURES A HIGH LEVEL OF EFFICIENCY, AIR QUALITY, AND DURABILITY FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, INCLUDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND BUILDINGS WITH HISTORIC DESIGNATIONS. IN 2023, 3,377 MULTIFAMILY AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS, 111 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, AND ONE LIGHT COMMERCIAL BUILDING GAINED EARTHCRAFT CERTIFICATION. BIT BUILDING IS SOUTHFACE'S SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. IT HELPS REDUCE ENERGY, WATER, AND WASTE CONSUMPTION OF ANY TYPE OF EXISTING BUILDING OR TENANT-CONTROLLED SPACE (EXCEPT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) REGARDLESS OF AGE OR CURRENT PERFORMANCE. WITH ACCESSIBLE PRICING AND NO PERFORMANCE THRESHOLDS TO GET STARTED, BIT PROVIDES A PATHWAY TO SUSTAINABILITY FOR BUILDINGS THAT DID NOT HAVE ONE BEFORE. 514533 107382 RESEARCH: BUILDING AMERICA | HVAC AFDD - BP 1 & 2: THE SOUTHFACE RESEARCH TEAM IS CURRENTLY WORKING TO CLOSE OUT THE PROJECT ON THE IMPACT OF RECENTLY DEVELOPED HVAC INSTALLATION VERIFICATION AND MONITORING TOOLS WITHIN CLIMATE ZONES 2 THROUGH 7. WE ARE NOW IN THE PEER-REVIEW PHASE, WITH ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION COMPLETED. OUR NATIONWIDE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE TOOLS THROUGH HVAC CONTRACTOR NETWORKS HAS ALLOWED US TO ASSESS THE INDIVIDUAL AND COMBINED ENERGY AND HVAC PERFORMANCE EFFECTS OF COMMISSIONING USING THE MEASUREQUICK PLATFORM. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE DOCUMENTED AND ASSESSED THE NON-ENERGY-RELATED IMPACTS OF THESE TOOLS. OUR OBJECTIVE HAS BEEN TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE 14 BILLION RESIDENTIAL HVAC SERVICE INDUSTRY BY EMPLOYING CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY TO ADDRESS THE APPROXIMATELY 70% OF SYSTEMS CURRENTLY OPERATING WITH FAULTS. THE RESEARCH FINDING SHOWED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT AVERAGE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT FOR ALL THREE METRICS ANALYZED FOR TUNE-UP/RETRO-COMMISSIONING WORKFLOW (I.E. 3.3% INCREASE IN TOTAL NORMALIZED CAPACITY, 5.4% INCREASE IN NORMALIZED SENSIBLE CAPACITY, AND 6.2% INCREASE IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATIO). ALTHOUGH PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO ENHANCE INSTALLATION QUALITY ON A LARGE SCALE HAVE YET TO ACHIEVE WIDESPREAD SUCCESS, INTEGRATING THESE EMERGING SYSTEMS OFFERS NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES TO HVAC CONTRACTORS AND THE MARKET FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE HVAC SYSTEMS.

FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C RESEARCH: BUILDING AMERICA | HVAC AFDD - BP 1 & 2: THE SOUTHFACE RESEARCH TEAM IS CURRENTLY WORKING TO CLOSE OUT THE PROJECT ON THE IMPACT OF RECENTLY DEVELOPED HVAC INSTALLATION VERIFICATION AND MONITORING TOOLS WITHIN CLIMATE ZONES 2 THROUGH 7. WE ARE NOW IN THE PEER-REVIEW PHASE, WITH ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION COMPLETED. OUR NATIONWIDE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE TOOLS THROUGH HVAC CONTRACTOR NETWORKS HAS ALLOWED US TO ASSESS THE INDIVIDUAL AND COMBINED ENERGY AND HVAC PERFORMANCE EFFECTS OF COMMISSIONING USING THE MEASUREQUICK PLATFORM. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE DOCUMENTED AND ASSESSED THE NON-ENERGY-RELATED IMPACTS OF THESE TOOLS. OUR OBJECTIVE HAS BEEN TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE 14 BILLION RESIDENTIAL HVAC SERVICE INDUSTRY BY EMPLOYING CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY TO ADDRESS THE APPROXIMATELY 70% OF SYSTEMS CURRENTLY OPERATING WITH FAULTS. THE RESEARCH FINDING SHOWED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT AVERAGE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT FOR ALL THREE METRICS ANALYZED FOR TUNE-UP/RETRO-COMMISSIONING WORKFLOW (I.E. 3.3% INCREASE IN TOTAL NORMALIZED CAPACITY, 5.4% INCREASE IN NORMALIZED SENSIBLE CAPACITY, AND 6.2% INCREASE IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATIO). ALTHOUGH PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO ENHANCE INSTALLATION QUALITY ON A LARGE SCALE HAVE YET TO ACHIEVE WIDESPREAD SUCCESS, INTEGRATING THESE EMERGING SYSTEMS OFFERS NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES TO HVAC CONTRACTORS AND THE MARKET FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE HVAC SYSTEMS.
