Why is energy efficiency so important?
You can't see energy efficiency, but it can make a big difference, both for your budget and for the environment! An investment in energy savings not only reduces your operating costs but also helps shield you against future price increases in energy.
What about your indoor air quality?
U.S. Environmental Protective Agency studies have found that indoor air pollution levels are typically two to five times worse than outdoor air pollution levels. Mold, Carbon Monoxide and other indoor pollutants significantly affect your health.
Can excessive consumption for one home affect the environment?
Yes, energy consumption in housing is one of the family's biggest impact on the environment.The EIA reports that carbon emissions for an all-electric home is 16,300 lbs of carbon dioxide in a single year.
A blower door is a powerful fan that mounts into the frame of an exterior door. The fan pulls air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside. The higher outside air pressure then flows in through all unsealed cracks and openings. The auditors may use a smoke pencil to detect air leaks. These tests determine the air infiltration rate of a building.
A thermograph measures surface temperatures by using infrared video and still cameras. These tools see light that is in the heat spectrum. Images on the video or film record the temperature variations of the building's skin, ranging from white for warm regions to black for cooler areas. The resulting images help the auditor determine whether insulation is needed. They also serve as a quality control tool, to ensure that insulation has been installed correctly.
Sources of Air Leaks in Your Home:
Areas that leak air into and out of your home cost you a lot of money. The areas listed in the illustration are the most common sources of air leaks
Why Is Finding Duct Leakage Important?
Your air ducts are one of the most important systems in you home, and if the ducts are poorly sealed or insulated they are likely contributing to higher energy bills!
Combustion Appliances Safety Testing
The Combustion Safety Test includes tests for worst-case depressurization, flue gas spillage, draft pressure, pre-dilution carbon monoxide, burner steady state efficiency, and combustible gas leaks
