Home performance audit, better known as
The Comprehensive
Home Assessment
The Comprehensive Home Assessment has
two phases. The first phase consists of the
contractor taking inventory of, and reporting
on, the current conditions in your home,
including the following:
- Health and safety (carbon monoxide
levels/moisture problems)
- Air infiltration rates
- Insulation levels
- Domestic hot-water system
- Heating system efficiency
- Cooling system/central air
conditioning efficiency, if applicable
- Distribution system (ductwork), if
applicable
- Lighting
- Major appliances
The second phase consists of the participating
BPI Accredited Contractor developing a
workscope for proposed improvements,
including a cost and energy savings estimate.
HOW IS IT DONE?
Participating contractors use a number of
diagnostic tools during the first phase of your
Comprehensive Home Assessment. Some of
the tools the contractor will use are:
-
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Analyzer:
an important health and safety tool
-
Blower Door: Measures the air tightness of
a
home and aids in identifying areas where air leakage is occurring
-
Duct Blaster: Measures how leaky the
ductwork is in a home. (This tool would only be
used in a home that has a forced-air heating
system and/or central air conditioning.)
Lastly the Certified contractor will provide
you with a comprehensive report, allowing you to decide what improvements
are most important. For a more
