About This Energy Audit
There are many different types of professional energy auditing services available to homeowners. Some energy audits can be very expensive and involve complex energy analysis, and various diagnostics. Other energy audits are less expensive and pinpoint energy savings opportunities with a visual inspection. This energy audit, the Energy Action Plan, is an affordable solution for homeowners that lands somewhere in the middle of this spectrum. Our Energy Action Plan is a comprehensive 12 point visual inspection along with energy diagnostics using an IR thermal imaging camera. The end result is a detailed report that includes energy stats and benchmarks, tips on optimizing energy consuming appliances and systems, general cost estimates, and a 3-point priority list that identifies the upgrades that are considered the most cost effective.
It should be noted that this energy audit does not include utility bill analysis, energy equations, and complex modeling of building materials to determine potential costs, savings and ROI for upgrades. This audit does not include these in order to cut down on the cost of the audit, and because this analysis is known to be inaccurate due to numerous variables (including occupant behavior). The recommendations in this report are based on current building and energy standards.
