What is your home audit?
A home energy audit is a comprehensive assessment of a home’s energy use, aimed at identifying opportunities to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and save on utility costs. Here’s an overview of what a home energy audit typically involves:
Preliminary Consultation
- Interview: The auditor may begin by asking questions about the household's energy use, habits, and any specific concerns or issues.
- Review of Utility Bills: Examining past utility bills helps identify patterns in energy usage and pinpoint times of high consumption.
Exterior Inspection
- Building Envelope: The auditor will inspect the outside of the home, looking for leaks, cracks, and other issues in the building envelope (walls, roof, foundation, windows, and doors) that can cause energy loss.
- Insulation: They may assess the type, condition, and amount of insulation in the home’s exterior walls and roof.
Interior Inspection Heating and Cooling
- Heating and Cooling Systems: The efficiency and condition of HVAC systems, including the furnace, air conditioner, ductwork, and thermostat, are evaluated.
- Appliances and Lighting: Major appliances and lighting fixtures are inspected to determine their energy efficiency.
- Ventilation: The effectiveness of the home’s ventilation system is assessed to ensure good air quality and energy efficiency.
Diagnostic Tests
- Blower Door Test: This test measures the airtightness of the home by using a powerful fan to lower the air pressure inside, revealing air leaks.
- Thermal Imaging: Infrared cameras are used to detect heat loss and identify areas where insulation is lacking or air leaks are present.
- Duct Blower Test: This test evaluates the airtightness of the ductwork in forced-air heating and cooling systems.
Energy Modeling and Analysis
- Software Analysis: Advanced software may be used to model the home’s energy usage and simulate the potential savings from various improvements.
- Cost-Benefit Analysis: The auditor provides a detailed report outlining the cost, benefits, and payback period of recommended upgrades.
Recommendations
