Who We Are

Our Mission Statement

NHCO^™ wants to drive the energy efficient building industry forward – toward a landscape where every builder, verifier, and homeowner are working together to drive the incremental reduction of energy consumption and a cleaner environment.

Through our innovative processes, our cutting-edge software, and experienced staff, we have the determination and grit required to make substantial, industry-wide changes. We want to bring you along for the ride – by supporting or helping you realize your dreams in the energy efficient construction space.

We’re here to help make the process of building energy efficient homes easier for everyone – by protecting and supporting builders with our ENERGY STAR and Zero Energy Ready Home guarantees with audit support, by providing verifiers with the support network and quality assurance to certify that their inspections are always held to the highest standard in the industry, and by providing homeowners with the pledge that their homes are among the most energy efficient in the market.

All of our work is supported by the Veraspace^™ software. It provides the highest quality data collection and quality assurance to ensure that the entire verification process is documented and the data iron-clad. Our process is built on the foundation of accountability – meaning that everyone is playing on a level field and has the same opportunity to succeed.

Building Industry Success

American dream (noun): the ideal that every citizen of the United States should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary

We believe that everyone deserves a shot to build a business that can support their life and their dreams. But we know that it isn’t easy to break into an industry – especially one that forces major entanglement between the builders and raters.

That’s why we founded NHCO^™.

If you’re a builder looking to optimize your business, we have built our platform around providing consistency. When you work with NHCO^™ for your homes, you can rest assured that every verification will be performed consistently – because the Veraspace^™ software has a consistent set-in-stone process. No matter where the home is, any NHCO^™ Verifier will perform inspections the same way. That way, you don’t have to worry about being stuck – you can work with any Verifier that works for you. The NHCO^™ process will give you consistent results for every home, and that gives you the freedom to grow and expand your business.

If you’re working as a rater today, or if you’re looking to start a new career as a NHCO^™ Verifier, you have the opportunity to work on a whole new scale. NHCO^™ is setting a whole new standard with the way our Verifiers work. We provide all of the oversight and quality assurance within the Veraspace software, and we make it easier than ever to complete inspections. Because everything is standardized, your business can work with new builders – opening up new revenue streams and securing perpetual business. Because we can guarantee your work, you have the freedom to work as much as you want to support your business.

Our process – which breaks industry conventions across the board – is set up to make the energy efficient building industry a place where anyone can realize their American dream.
