Comprehensive Energy Audits
The energy audit is conducted by an energy consultant who is certified by the BPI - Building Performance Institute as a Building Analyst and Building Envelope professional. It’s a comprehensive home examination designed to uncover existing conditions within the home that are potentially cause homeowners to waste energy and absorb high electric bills. Our energy audit includes a diagnostic test t measuring the amount of air leakage found within the house and air conditioning system.
Some typical conditions can include:
· Insulation inadequacies & failures
· Leaks in the Air condition duct system
· Penetrations which permit air exchange and connection between the attic and exterior of the home within the conditioned space
· Room pressure imbalance and heat island that cause uneven air temperature and discomfort.
· Unsealed windows and doors
In addition will also consult with you, your energy use habits and energy bills, as well as comfort issues within the home (hot/cold rooms or low air circulation) to establish what low-cost repairs could be deployed to improve your home's performance/efficiency, lower your energy bills and improve the comfort and air quality in your home. We get you the comprehensive energy audit (Home Performance Analysis). While most firms charge from $299 - $499 to perform an audit, we complete the audit FREE to qualified homeowners.
· Detailed occupant interview and utility bill analysis to identify specific concerns
· Building envelope inspection of the thermal barrier in the attic, walls, basement and other locations
· The blower door test to locate and measure air leakage and measure natural ventilation or the “tightness” of your home
· Advanced infrared imaging analysis combined with a blower door test, to see air leakage and areas of ineffective or absent insulation
· Full inspection of heating and cooling equipment, testing for combustible gas leaks, and proper combustion appliance draft and venting
· Appliances & lighting inspection to identify opportunities for important savings and improved performance
· An indoor air quality inspection identifying mold and other indoor environmental hazards or concerns
· A user friendly report with summary of findings, analysis of building performance problems and opportunities, prioritized list of improvements
