If you are a CalGreen reviewer, do you run your site visits differently? Contact us to share your thoughts.
The purpose of CalGreen site visits is for the CalGreen reviewer to do the following:
- Ensure that conditions on site match those represented in documentation
- Gather information that isn’t available in other documentation
- Bring any compliance issues to the attention of the design and construction team
- Answer any questions the design and construction team may have
What to expect during a CalGreen review site visit:
- It’s best to schedule two visits: the first around the time of rough framing, and the second around the time of construction completion/ prior to final building inspection
- CalGreen reviewer will meet General Contractor on site for 30-60 minutes
- Reviewer will highlight CalGreen checklist items that need attention
- General Contractor will give reviewer a site tour and update reviewer on job status
- Reviewer will gather information through visual checks, by interviewing you and other team members, and by reviewing documents from other vendors
- Reviewer does not perform functional testing of mechanical or electrical systems
- Following the site visit, the CalGreen reviewer will report the outcome of the site visit to project managers and supervisors by email.
- If any compliance issues are found during the site visit, the CalGreen reviewer will provide an Inspection Notice.
