A Home Performance Audit, which includes an energy audit, is a comprehensive approach to evaluating how well a home is performing, including energy use, moisture management, water use and indoor air quality. The analysis typically takes half a day and involves inspecting and testing various building components from the crawl space to the attic and everything in between.
Summary
Cost: $350 – 20% = $280
Duration: 1/2 day
Complexity: Med – High
The resulting report provides the home owner with a detailed view of how well the home is performing and a prioritized list of recommended improvements. This allows the homeowner to determine the most effective way to improve the home’s energy efficiency and address any air quality issues or other building concerns.
During a Home Performance Audit, a Sundogs Solutions representative will use several specialized instruments and software to evaluate these components and build a comprehensive view of how well a home is performing. These may include:
- Blower door fan to test for air leaks in the home
- Duct blaster fan to test for air leaks in the ducts
- Hygrometer and moisture meter to test for high humidity levels and moisture infiltration
- Thermal imaging camera to identify any unexpected thermal losses
- Carbon monoxide meter to test for the infiltration of unwanted combustion byproducts
In addition to using these instruments, the auditor will visually inspect the entire home both inside and out including the crawl space and attic. During this inspection, he or she will take note of insulation levels, water fixtures and the integrity of the building components. Once collected, all the information is entered into a detailed report which is then provided to the customer.
