On ridealong Field QA Reviews (remote or in-person), if applicable, does Rater/RFI verify and document the correct skylight combinations based on type, U-value, SHGC, pitch, orientation, overhang, shading and ceiling assignment? Does Rater/RFI take any measurements of the skylights to verify that plans and as-built skylights match, or take full skylights measurements if no plans? Does Rater/RFI verify skylight pitch while on-site?
SCORING: "Satisfactory": When no errors in verification "Unsatisfactory": When any errors in verification from list below "N/A": No Skylights present in the home
GUIDANCE: Skylights Verification Errors - The Rater/RFI can correctly identify or determine the following items: * As-Built Skylight Area matches Plans or other backup * Construction Type of Skylight (Frame Material & Glazing Type) * Orientation of each Skylight * As-Built Skylight Performance from NFRC labels (Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) & U-Value) * If NFRC labels not present, identify alternative methods to determine Skylight Performance using known window characteristics (NFRC Certified Products Directory, Table 4 in ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, Chapter 5 or LBL RESFEN 6.0 User Manual, Table 5.5, or Efficient Window Collaborative window selection tool) * As-Built Pitch matches Plans or other backup
