PHOTO REQUIRED of all refrigerator/freezer nameplates/model numbers (if installed) or empty spaces (if not installed) per MINHERS Chapter 9. Raters/RFIs are responsible for documenting reasons for missing photos. Rater/RFI correctly verifies and documents whether refrigerators are installed at time of final inspection for new homes. If the builder provides this appliance, the Rater/RFI verifies supporting documentation in form of spec sheet/purchase order from the builder.
- Refrigerator efficiency shown on the EnergyGuide that ships with the appliance can differ from published data for the same model. Rater/RFI should document which source they use and verify supporting documentation (such as photo of the EnergyGuide or photo of nameplate w/ model #).
SCORING:
"Satisfactory" when correct or "Unsatisfactory" when incorrect.
GUIDANCE:
- kWh/yr matches EnergyGuide or OEM data for the verified model, or if not installed, RESNET default value (based on the number of bedrooms in home) is used.
- total consumption value is summed for all refrigerators and freezers (and integrated refrigerator locations) present in the home during the confirmed rating.
