A home energy assessment, also known as a home energy audit, assesses how your home loses or wastes energy and what measures you can take to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of your home. An assessment will show you problems that may, when corrected, will have a dramatic effect on your home’s overall comfort and will save you significant amounts of money over time.
The audit uses specialized equipment and expertly trained individuals to uncover ways to make your home comfortable, energy efficient, and healthy. Energy auditors carry professional credentials from the Building Performance Institute to indicate they have met the required professional and educational prerequisites and are certified to the highest standard in the industry.
The assessment goes into great detail to assess your home’s energy use. The energy auditor will do a room-by-room examination of the residence, as well as a thorough examination of past utility bills. An assessment will include a thermographic scan of the walls in your home to assess the amount of insulation in your home’s walls.
Your home is as unique as you are. It will take a certified home energy professional to evaluate your home and your family’s specific needs. It will also take a certified specialist to make those upgrades to your home. It’s not rocket science, but it is building science.

Energy is so much a part of life that we often use it without thinking about its sources and impacts on the 
environment. Most of the energy used by our homes is generated from burning fossil fuels like coal, gas or oil. Today, fossil fuels provide around 66 percent of the world’s electrical power, and 95 percent of the world’s total energy demands. Accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, released from burning of fossil fuel, contributes to global warming and triggers changes in surrounding environment and, ultimately, on our social and economic realities. Increasing efficiency of energy consumption is likely one of the most straightforward and practical ways to climate change mitigation.
