The building official shall authorize other persons to conduct the energy conservation inspections which are necessary in order to certify compliance with the energy conservation standards adopted by this chapter if such person is certified as a building inspector, holds a license as a general contractor or insulation contractor issued by the Contractors’ State License Board, holds a license as a structural pest control operator issued by the Structural Pest Control Board, or is otherwise determined by the building official, on the basis of education and/or experience, to be qualified to conduct such inspections. Applications for such authorization shall be filed with the building division, shall be in a form and contain the information prescribed by the building official, and shall be accompanied by a fee in an amount established by resolution of the council.
If, after authorizing a person to conduct energy conservation inspections necessary in order to certify compliance with the energy conservation standards adopted by this chapter, the building official determines that such person misrepresented such person’s qualifications for such authorization, no longer holds the certification or license relied upon by the building official as the basis for granting such authorization, or filed a declaration certifying that such residential housing is in compliance with such energy conservation standards without having inspected such housing or when it is clear that the housing did not comply with such standards, the building official shall revoke the authorization granted to such person. However, the building official shall not revoke an authorization to conduct energy conservation inspections unless the building official has given reasonable prior notice of the building official's proposed action to the person granted such authorization and given to such person an opportunity to appear before the building official and be heard on the proposed revocation.
