Advanced Audit
An Advanced Audit includes all the services of the Standard & Expanded Audits, plus a blower door test. US government energy labs estimate that air leakage wastes up to 40% of every home’s heating and cooling dollar. This translates into billions of dollars being wasted on heating and cooling every month. The Expanded Audit would be beneficial if you are looking to reduce the expense of heating and cooling, upgrading an HVAC system, or making energy-efficient improvements. Calibrated air‐pressure gauges are used to monitor pressure differences between rooms when the mechanical systems are running. Too much or too little airflow in living spaces throughout the home means compromised comfort levels and can also present serious air quality issues when negative air pressures come into contact with combustion appliances like furnaces and water heaters. A device called a blower‐door is used to de‐pressurize the entire home, which enables the auditor to pinpoint air leaks and, when combined with an infra‐red camera, to identify areas in the building envelope that are thermally deficient, either from a lack of insulation, air leakage, or improper c
