PHOTO REQUIRED of dishwasher nameplate/model number (if installed) or empty space (if not installed) per MINHERS Chapter 9. Raters/RFIs are responsible for documenting reasons for missing photos. Rater/RFI correctly verifies and documents whether dishwashers 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.
- Dishwasher efficiency shown on the EnergyGuide that ships with the appliance can differ from published data for the same model. Rater/RFI shall document which source they verify and provide supporting documentation (photo of the EnergyGuide or photo of nameplate w/ model #).
SCORING:
"Satisfactory" when correct or "Unsatisfactory" when incorrect.
GUIDANCE:
- Efficiency Type - Select EF or kWh/yr based off the available information
- Energy Factor / kWh/yr - kWh/yr matches EnergyGuide for verified model or if not installed, RESNET default value is used
- Unlike the refrigerator/freezer, multiple dishwashers are not summed when there is more than one. Instead, you use the data for the one that will get the most usage.
- Dishwasher size - verify via supporting docs or onsite verification. If multiple dishwashers of different sizes present, use the larger of the sizes.
