Allston’s housing is dominated by early-1900s wood-frame triple-deckers packed onto small lots — a building type that makes air-sealing and energy modeling genuinely demanding. With Harvard’s Allston campus expansion and steady multifamily redevelopment driving new construction, our RESNET-accredited raters deliver fast, accurate ratings on both gut-rehabbed three-deckers and new apartment buildings.
Whether you’re rehabbing a Brighton Avenue triple-decker or building new multifamily near Harvard’s Allston campus, our certified HERS raters provide every document your project needs for City of Boston building permits and final inspections.
As part of the City of Boston, Allston falls under the Specialized Opt-in Stretch Energy Code — Massachusetts’ most demanding tier, built on IECC 2021 (climate zone 5A) with state amendments under 225 CMR Ch. 22. New residential construction must be verified by a certified HERS rater, with air-tightness confirmed by blower door testing and ducts verified by duct leakage testing — exacting work in Allston’s aging, tightly packed wood-frame stock. We prepare and submit all documentation required by the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department.
