About Construction Defect Lawsuits
Every home builder in America knows about the dangers of construction defect lawsuits, legal
actions brought by home owners to remedy an issue in a new home.
While many of the suits are filed at the behest of insurance companies and plaintiffs' attorneys,
the actions can cause bad blood between home builders and their customers.
To help home builders navigate the tricky world of construction defect suits, NAHB member
Treacy Duerfeldt recorded a podcast with eight episodes focusing on different issues and topics
related to construction defect suits.
Duerfeldt is a member of the NAHB Construction Liability, Risk Management and Building
Materials Committee and owns a business that works with builders on insurance and risk
mitigation, so he knows his way around litigation issues. Teaming up with John Bordonaro, a
consultant focused on moisture issues in new homes, Duerfeldt explores different topics related
to construction defect suits.
Topics include proper home design, installation of building components, identifying construction
defect states, how to avoid construction defect lawsuits and much more.
Duerfeldt and Bordonaro's overarching advice to avoid costly litigation is to focus on customer
service and to earnestly work with home owners on issues that arise. Get more detail in
the podcast episodes on NAHB's YouTube channel.

Upcoming Changes to Efficiency Standards for
AC Units and Heat Pumps
On Jan. 1, 2023, new minimum efficiency standards for air
conditioners and heat pumps will go into effect across the United
States.
Federal standards for equipment efficiencies are implemented by
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in accordance with the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of 1975. This is the
first time since 2015 DOE is updating air conditioner and heat
pump efficiency standards.
All new units will be required to meet the updated standards.
Home builders and HVAC contractors should be getting ready for
the transition as equipment meeting older standards will be
phased out.
For the Southeast and Southwest regions (see map below), the
Jan. 1, 2023 deadline will also apply to the installation of air
conditioning systems at the building. Because the indoor and
outdoor units must be paired to achieve the rated system
efficiency, but can be installed at different stages of construction,
itâ€™s important that HVAC contractors and builders plan
accordingly to meet the January 1 installation deadline. The
installation deadline applies only to the AC units (not to heat
pumps and not to other specialty systems). The installation
deadline does not apply to the North region for any equipment.
In addition, the metrics used to designate systemsâ€™ efficiencies
will change to reflect updates to the underlying testing protocols.
The new efficiency designations will be referred to as SEER2 and
EER2, replacing the outgoing SEER and EER designations. With
the simultaneous changes to efficiencies and designations, home
builders are encouraged to work closely with their equipment
suppliers to ensure a smooth transition.
The installation deadlines for air conditioning systems in the
Southeast and Southwest regions will require additional planning
and coordination between HVAC designers, HVAC contractors,
equipment manufacturers, and home builders. Existing stock of
single and two-stage split system AC units tagged using the
outgoing SEER and HSPF rating will be allowed after January 1,
2023 deadline provided that the FTC label meets the 2023
efficiency standard. For example, a 3.5-ton AC unit labeled as 15
SEER will be allowed. To verify if the condensing unit is
compliant, check the SEER and region on the FTC label.
The new efficiency standards do not affect furnaces or water
heaters.
NAHB this week sent a letter to the DOE requesting the agency
extend its installation deadline for southwest and southeast from
Jan. 1, 2023 to July 1, 2023 in response to supply challenges
facing the U.S. economy and the construction sector.
For additional details on energy standards that govern
equipment efficiencies, refer to the Code of Federal Regulations.
