Ep. 34 What Is A Home Energy Audit?
Today I'm with Scott Pusey of EverydayGreen, a Pennsylvania energy efficiency expert who talks about "home energy audits" - what they are and how they can help homeowners save money, particularly during remodels and retrofits. Scott and I talk at a home in Lititz, PA that was remodeled following the recommendations from his energy audit that is expected to reduce the energy costs by over 50%, all while increasing the square footage by 700.
Home energy audits in Lancaster & elsewhere in central PA follow the guidelines set by BPI (Buildiing Performance Institute) if the auditor is certified through that group, that Scott recommends. The audit consists of 3 phases:
1) Analysis of utility billing and usage to spot trends
2) 4-hour onsite inspection and measurements
3) Written report with specific recommendations and outcomes
Scott details each of these steps and gives tips on what to look for with an audit. You can reach out to Scott at scott@everydaygreendc.com.
