A staggering 21% of the all energy used in the United States is used in homes. Where does all of the energy go?
-
Heating and cooling uses around 40% of the energy consumed in a home. -
Water heating uses around 20%.
-
Appliances, including refrigeration, uses around 15%.
These energy users can also be areas where energy savings can be achieved.
High energy costs are often a symptom of an unhealthy home. A healthy, well-functioning home is one that has a balance of heating, cooling, and air flow. An unbalanced home can have problems relating to airflow, temperature differentials, and moisture accumulation. A home energy audit is the first step to determine how much energy a home uses and opportunities where energy can be saved. The survey/audit can discover inefficiencies in a home and provide solutions for increased efficiency.
An accredited Provider or a program may apply this standard to improve the energy performance of existing homes through uniform, comprehensive home energy audits for existing residential buildings. This standard is intended to result in investments by building owners that produce the following outcomes:
-
Increase the energy efficiency of homes. -
Increase the comfort of homes.
-
Increase the durability of homes.
-
Ensure that energy improvement recommendations are portrayed with reasonable and consistent projections of energy savings.
-
Reduce the risk that energy improvement recommendations will contribute to health, safety, or building durability problems.
-
Reduce waste and pollution, protecting the environment.
