What an Audit Report Looks Like: Pt. 3
Friday, May 9, 2014
The third section of the audit report will deal with how you and your family use energy in your home and ways you can save it.
All of our Building Performance Institute (BPI) certified building analysts are exceptionally skilled in the performance of energy audits and home performance energy assessments. A typical energy audit is comprised of a series of tests and inspections that provide a detailed look at how your home uses and loses energy including:
- Home owner interview
- Blower door test
- Thermal Camera Inspection
- Carbon monoxide testing
- Gas leak and combustion safety testing
The ultimate goal of the energy audit is to find the most cost effective investments you can make to solve health and safety issues, improve comfort, and reduce energy bills. And bear in mind that what turns up might surprise you: homeowners are often shocked to discover that all the little air leaks throughout their house add up to the equivalent of a window (or two, or more) being left open year round!
Energy audits let you know if the money and time you spent on home improvements or home construction ever paid off. We assure you that it will pay off because this evidence is possible with Orange Energy Solutions.
FAQ:
Q. What's the difference between an Energy Audit and an Energy Assessment?
A. They are two terms for similar processes. An energy audit consists of several tests whereas an energy assessment, under certain programs, may simply be a detailed estimate with no testing. Discuss this with your building analyst for more information.
