Homeowners and commercial building owners stand to significantly reduce their energy costs by as much as 40%. A state-of-the-art energy audit is a small investment ($200-$600) relative to the potential savings that an owner can realize over time.
All too often, improperly installed insulation and moisture-affecting, conventionally used fiberglass insulation severely compromise a building’s thermal performance. The only way to know how your home is performing is to do an energy audit. Identifying the air-exchange rate and pinpointing areas of heat loss are two key methods in evaluating thermal performance that leads toward reduced energy costs.
In fact, building air-tightness, not adding insulation, is the single most important factor in preventing heat loss for most homes and commercial buildings. Nevertheless, it is important to conduct a comprehensive evaluation. For our audits, Energy Egghead uses a blower door test, a top-of-the-line thermal imaging camera, and sophisticated software to model all energy uses in a home while attuning the model to actual conditions.
Energy Egghead provides expert inspection and analysis of residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial building envelopes. At Energy Egghead, expertise in thermal imaging is combined with knowledge of building science to accurately analyze existing conditions and make energy improvement recommendations.
THE ENERGY MODEL is an essential tool for an effective energy audit. It incorporates data gathered from an existing building into a sophisticated model that characterizes energy use and thermal performance. Energy Egghead utilizes the software to provide accurate information and an easy-to-read report.
