Home Energy Auditing is a recognized science today. There are 4 central goals we strive for:
The overarching goals of the audit are to conserve energy, improve comfort, ensure safety, and increase building
durability.Through observation and measuring techniques, I can profile how much energy your home uses, and where that
energy is going, both useful and wasteful. Using a blower-door to de-pressurize the home, I can measure how much heat / AC
is leaking from the house. Using an IR (infrared) camera, I can see even hidden air leakage and moisture problems, pinpointing
weaknesses in insulation, weatherproofing, or even just condensation. I even measure the efficiency of your appliances. The
audit culminates with a detailed report, showing where your energy is being used, how it can be conserved, and what the costs
/ alternatives and benefits are in simple, easy to understand terms.
I provide an independent audit. I work for you, and for your benefit, not for a company
that wants to sell you anything. I will give you industry standard costs for the work I recommend, but you are free to get
estimates from any contractor.
Full
audits include one follow-up test to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the work you’ve had done.
