Energy efficiency audits for homes or buildings may involve many building components including but not limited to walls, cladding systems, insulation, roofing, ceilings, floors, doors and windows, mechanical systems design and installation, ducts, diffuser locations and design, skylights and overall construction and design. For each of these components the area and resistance to heat flow (R-value) should be known or estimated. The leakage rate or infiltration of air through the building envelope components is critical to the energy performance which can be affected by gaps in windows, doors, waterproofing seals and gaskets, soffits, attics, insulation inconsistencies, and leaks in duct work.

The primary goal of the USBCI “certified” energy efficiency audit program is to quantify the building's overall thermal performance to local energy companies, state and federal guidelines in order to receive financial benefits. It is widely recognised that the financial benefits of energy audits can be significant.

The energy efficient audit will not only help you save money and get reimbursements, it may also assess the building envelope efficiency, physical condition, and programming of mechanical systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning equipment and thermostat. USBCI also includes moisture engineering control benefits that help owners stabilize a home or building against microbial growth that can lead to sick building syndrome or other indoor air quality issues.

Our “certified Energy Efficiency Audit” program is a comprehensive approach to saving you money on electric bills and protecting against environmental issues. Our professional inspectors and investigators perform these services using state of the art equipment.

For more information on availability of tax credits, local, state and federal government cost refund benefits, call USBCI today. We will arrange for our qualified professional inspection team to visit your property and conduct an energy efficiency audit as soon as possible.
