Energy consultants are
responsible for energy audits and cost saving services that can help the
client meet energy efficiency standards that can qualify them for state
funded incentives. Some sample claims can include:
1. An Energy
Consultant is hired to test the duct work of a home for airflow leakage.
The consultant certifies that the duct work is within compliance with
state guidelines. Less than one year later the owner of the home is in
the process of selling the home. Another inspection is required but
the buyer’s inspector determines that the home is not in compliance and
the deal falls through because of it. (E&O Claim)
2. An
Energy Consultant is hired by a homeowner's association to complete a full
evaluation of a residential high rise. The Energy Consultant recommends
that the association make upgrades to all of the lighting in the common
areas and replace all of the community washer/dryers. The Energy
Consultant guarantees that the Home Owners Association will save more
than 30 percent in energy costs annually. After the first year, the
energy savings is 22 percent. The Homeowners Association sues for the
difference alleging professional negligence. (E&O Claim)
3. An Energy Consultant is hired by a
builder to design an efficiency program for a new community that the
builder is developing that will allow the builder to qualify for state
funded incentives. Upon completing the development, it is discovered
that the builder has not met efficiency requirements and is therefore
not eligible to receive incentives. The builder sues the consultant for
the amount the incentives would have been. (E&O Claim)
4. An Energy Consultant knocks over an antique vase valued at $10,000
while doing an energy audit of the subject building. (General Liability Claim)
5. An Energy Consultant hits and
seriously injures a family member while backing out of the driveway at
the subject property. (General Liability Claim)
