ENERGY

Services include: energy audits, efficiency upgrades as a component of other work, and deep energy retrofits.

Energy Audits
An energy audit is the best way to assess a building’s thermal performance and energy use. During the audit I will:
  • Perform a visual inspection of the exterior and readily accessible interior portions of the building.
  • Conduct a blower door test to measure the air infiltration rate of the building.
  • Inspect the building and check the combustion appliances for health and safety concerns.
  • Prepare a report that includes results from the audit and recommendations to improve the efficiency of the building. 
As a Home performance with Energy Star Contractor and a member of the Energy Excellence Network, I work with Vermont clients to access Efficiency Vermont’s incentive programs.

Efficiency Upgrades
I work with clients to develop overall plans for their homes. These plans can address both short- and long-term goals, and then we figure out the most cost-effective approach to doing the work.

Deep Energy Retrofits
This type of project involves retrofitting an existing building to meet a high standard of thermal performance and energy efficiency. The comfort and pleasure of living in a home that has received this kind of attention is remarkable.
