The purpose of this visit was to observe the insulation installation and perform the Quality Insulation Installation / Thermal Bypass Checklist Inspection and identify any areas not passing. The following parties were present: Chris Gianunzio, Brown Construction, Inc. (BCI) Juan Gonzalez, So Cal HERS Raters (SCH) Kevin Rasmussen, So Cal HERS Raters (SCH) The following observations were made on the jobsite, and/or discussed in the jobsite trailer. Chris G. called us on 9/15/08 and asked if we would be able to come out on 9/16/08 and look at the insulation at the attic level on buildings 2100, 2300, and 2400. We visited the jobsite on 9/16/08 and we were able to verify that the insulation at the lid level was installed properly per the QII/TBC requirements. Chris will schedule us for the exterior walls after 9/26/08.
