GET CERTIFIEDEnergy Audit with Return on Investment Report

The path to efficiency starts when we Assess your property with the Energy Audit that is right for

your situation. Energy Auditing is relatively new to most Americans, so the breakdown below is designe

to help you understand the differences and choose the right type of audit. Please note that our team

members are cross certified to be able to best serve your specific needs.

Green & Save - The most cost-effective way to start saving money. A Certified Ho

Efficiency Consultant will come out to your home and analyze your electric, fuel,

and water bills before exploring your home and searching for the most cost-

effective opportunities to save money, energy, and the environment. The

deliverable is a detailed report showing exactly how your home compares in

areas such as electric base load, home heating efficiency, and cooling

efficiency as well as an easy-to-understand Return on Investment (ROI) cost

benefit analysis.

The Building Performance Institute (BPI ). Your auditor will come

to your home and look at two major categories. First, your auditor will test

safety and efficiency of your combustion equipment such as the furnace,boiler, and range. Second , they will use a Blower Door to test for weak s

in the homes thermal boundary. The deliverable is a report that lists the

results of the tests as well as recommendations for improvements like air

sealing.

Energy Audit with Energy Star Rating For new home construction

Residential Energy Service Network has a Home Energy Rating HERS Ind

that scores the homes efficiency. The Rater conducts onsite inspections

typically including a blower door test (to test the leakiness of the house)

and a duct test (to test the leakiness of the ducts). The results of these

tests, along with inputs derived from the plan review, are used to genera

the HERS Index score for the home. This type of a Rating Energy audit

increasingly popular with builders that want to market their homes as high

performance via Energy Star standards.

Energy Audit with Infrared ImagingUpon request, our Energy Audit

use Infrared (IR) Cameras to literally help see where there are voids in

insulation as well as past or ongoing water damage. The IR enhancement t

the Energy Audit is typically an upgrade of a couple hundred dollars give

that the cost of the equipment ranges from $4,500 to over $15,000. The

Building Science Institute trains auditors on specialty techniques to use t

cameras and the major camera manufacturers also provide excellent softwand tutorials to help guide auditors into the best practices for the equipme

Jeff Schneider

David Marks is a solid green professional. He worked withme on greening my synagogue and educating our staff on how

to improve our environment and still save money. He paid

attention to every detail and helped us every step of the way

through the process of going green. We have a school on

premises, so making sure our kids are healthy was a primary

goal in the process of going green. David is well versed on the

environmental health issues that affect kids. I would recommend

David highly for every green effort and business endeavor.

Mark Halpert

With great interest I observed Peter do what he does best:

facilitate high-level open peer reviews of companies and people

in those companies. At the end of a few hours, there is a clearer

and more open path for the business to start fresh and improve

on itself. That's a hard job for someone to do well, delicately,

keeping the big picture in mind. Peter is definitely a big picture

person. We need more like him, dedicated to green objectives

and helping open people up to new ideas. I am pleased to know

him as a friend and as a reliable, knowledgeable colleague.
