Home Performance with ENERGY
STAR is a comprehensive home
improvement program using the latest
technologies to increase your home's
energy performance.
Using a "whole house approach," as
certified contractors we look at all the
components of your home;
heating/cooling equipment, insulation
levels, air infiltration, windows/doors.
Then show you exactly how to
maximize energy efficiency.
The first step is the Comprehensive
Home Assessment, or Energy Audit.
During the Audit, we will take
inventory of and report the conditions
of your home using several tools and
pieces of equipment to include a CO
analyzer and a Blower Door. We will
report on the following:
* Health & Safety (CO Levels/Moisutre/
Electrical problems)
* Air-Infiltration rates
* Insulation levels
* Domestic Hot Water system
* Heating System efficiency
* Cooling system (if applicable)
* Distribution system (ductwork)
* Lighting
* Major appliances
We will then take this information and
using computer software, develop
'Your Home Assessment'. This
assessment will recommend
improvements that can be done to
make your home more energy efficient
and comfortable, as well as
improvement costs and the estimated
payback time frame.
