Rising energy cost has once again become the topic of discussion for consumers and the media. More and more people are looking for answers, solutions and suggestions to reducing their utility expenditures. Unfortunately were at the mercy of the utility companies and will have to continue to pay more every year to operate our homes and business’s. The alternative solution to this dilemma is to take control of how the energy is consumed in our buildings. Whether you searching for answers for existing homes or new construction, we can provide solutions and recommendations to take back control of you utility bills.
Our company specializes in Whole House Energy Evaluations for Existing Construction and Commercial Buildings. We also provide ENERGY STAR HOME Certifications for newly constructed homes. The whole house approach evaluates the building as a system of interactive components 1) the building envelope 2) the mechanical systems 3) the occupants. When shopping for energy evaluations make certain that these three components are evaluated. Most companies DO NOT look at the building as a whole system and can be missing or overlooking very key components to the energy loss or comfort problems that they were typically hired to resolve. Yes, we do use Infrared Technology to evaluate the building envelope, however this is only a small part of the comprehensive evaluation that our company offers. Again, the building should be evaluated as a whole system, this will lead to a more detailed look at how the building is actually performing and widen the scope for determining the energy loss problem.
