Progress inspections for Energy Code compliance are mandated by Section BC 109.3.5. 1 RCNY §5000-01. The Energy Code Compliance Rule establishes Department standards for progress inspections during construction.

TR- 8 Energy Code Compliance Inspections are mandatory field verification conducted during construction to ensure a building complies with state and local energy conservation standards. These inspections—often tied to local sign-offs like the TR-8 form in New York City—cover insulation, air sealing, HVAC ductwork, and lighting.
