Energy Audit or Training
Energy Auditing refers to an inspection of a home/commercial property with an eye toward reviewing the current energy consumption curve and making recommendations on how to reduce that consumption and save money in the most cost-effective and convenient way. Because of the recent increase in emphasis on becoming eco-friendly, or ‘green’, energy consumption is suddenly being examined under a microscope because reduction in energy consumption reduces greenhouse gases, which in turn makes the consumer more eco-friendly and ensures sustainability. This new push has engendered utility and government incentives encouraging the owner to procure an energy audit for their home. Benefits include:

• Increased comfort
• Improved quality to the home
• Healthier home environment
• Increased property value
• Reduced energy bills
• Lower environmental impact

Our experienced energy auditors understand all the various systems and influences associated with energy consumption. With the proper equipment and understanding they can make recommendations to the owner based on one simple fact; the house is a system, and everything is connected. The auditor explains to the homeowner or performs the following:

• Principles of energy and building science
• The Energy Audit process
• Building Shell and Thermal envelope
• Airflow basics
• Moisture Management
• Air Quality
• Combustion safety and CO monitoring
• Building systems: HVAC, Lighting, Appliances, and DHW
• Diagnose common building problems
• Blower door testing
• Combustion testing and safety
