Code Compliance Performance Alternative (N1105) - This is a North Carolina performance-based compliance option that can save your project when traditional code compliance fails.

It evaluates whether a home meets energy requirements by comparing the simulated energy cost of the proposed (as-built) home to that of a standard code-compliant home.

How It Works

If the simulation shows that the as-built home uses the same amount or less energy than the code-built model, you will pass inspection.

If you have failed a code inspection and cannot move on in your building process, this alternative pathway can potentially allow you to continue to move forward.
