What is an Energy Audit?
An Energy Audit could put money back in your pocket, where it belongs.

Energy Audits are performed on houses to determine their overall energy efficiency. The audit will address your house as a system and will inform you of ways to improve the way your home uses energy. Your auditor can then recommend upgrades and repairs that can be made to your home to lower your energy usage and your monthly bills.

Professional Home Energy Audits

Professional energy audits generally go into great detail. Green Home energy auditors do a room-by-room examination of the residence, as well as a thorough examination of past utility bills.

Our professional energy audits will include a blower door test and will also include a thermographic scan.

Preparing for an Energy Audit

Before the energy auditor visits your house, make a list of any existing problems such as condensation and uncomfortable or drafty rooms. Have copies or a summary of the home's yearly energy bills. (Your utility can get these for you.) A Green Home Energy Audit uses this information to establish what to look for during the audit. The auditor first examines the outside of the home to determine the size of the house and its features (i.e., wall area, number and size of windows). The auditor then will analyze the residents' behavior:

* Is anyone home during working hours?
* What is the average thermostat setting for summer and winter?
* How many people live here?
* Is every room in use?

Your answers may help uncover some simple ways to reduce your household's energy consumption. Walk through your home with the auditors as they work, and ask questions. They may use equipment to detect sources of energy loss, such as blower doors, infrared cameras, furnace efficiency meters, and surface thermometers.
