Home Energy Audit
A home energy audit is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient. An audit will show you problems that may, when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time.
Greenstamp uses a variety of techniques and equipment to determine the energy efficiency of a structure, including blower doors, which measure the extent of leaks in the building envelope, and infrared cameras, which detect areas of air infiltration and missing insulation.
