Home Performance Assessment - an energy audit is the first to step to adding comfort to home, increasing energy efficiency, improving durability and keeping your home safe. An energy audit identifies air infiltration, inadequate insulation, moisture problems(mold, mildew, odors rot and decay), lighting improvement opportunities, appliance problems. After an energy audit you will have a prioritized list of repairs such as insulation installation, air sealing, window and door replacement opportunities. After your thermal envelope is improved you can buy smaller a HVAC and air conditioning system to keep you in comfort for less with smaller energy efficient units.
An energy audit concentrates on air flow, moisture flow and heat flow. Uncontrolled air flow affects comfort (drafts and cold spaces), insulation performance (wet insulation does not performs poorly), durability of your home due to air carrying moisture into cold areas for condensation, rot, mold and ugly odors to be produced in your home. An energy audit also identifies where insulation is missing or is inadequate. This includes insulation in your attic, exterior walls and floors.
HVAC systems with leaky duct work also can cause comfort issues in a home. Drawing cold dry air into the home in the winter and moist damp air into the house in the summer. Air sealing and insulating ducts improves the performance of your heating and air conditioning system.
Crawl spaces are leaky, damp areas that are usually under insulated. Installing vapor retarders, air sealing and adding insulation eliminates comfort issues such as cold feet, drafts and ugly odors. At the same time lowering your energy bills by making your crawl space energy efficient.
