Home Energy Auditor

Print

Home Energy Auditing is a recognized science today. There are 4 central goals we strive for: 

  • Save Energy. It's too expensive to waste, and waste contributes to climate change. 
  • Increase Comfort. Within the right temperature and humidity, we are comfortable. A drafty house is not comfortable, nor is a house that's too humid or too dry.
  • Improve Air Quality. Controlling moisture and contaminants results in a healthier home environment.
  • Promote Building Durability. Moisture in the wrong places rots buildings.

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.
