Domain Energy Performance Audit

Designed for customers who:
> want a clear picture of how energy is used in their home
> want to know the cause of any performance problems -- and its solution
> want unbiased answers as to where they can get the most benefit

The cost of utility bills is the highest cost outside of the mortgage for most homeowners. A DOMAIN Energy Performance Audit will clarify your understanding of how energy is used in your home. It provides critical knowledge to upgrading or selecting your home. Combining your concerns and goals with the understanding of the home, we can find sound, effective improvement strategies.

The DOMAIN Energy Performance Audit includes:

top-to-bottom survey including attics, knee walls, above grade walls, windows, doors, basement or crawl spaces, and heating/cooling/hot water systems
infiltration test using a blower door and digital manometer to estimate total leakage and diagnose its effect
whole-house software modeling reconciled to your energy bills
detailed written report and graphs of the findings and recommendation for improving the comfort, durability and energy-efficiency of your home based on estimated costs and payback.

A Perfect Match
For those who are thinking of adding renewable energy such as solar or wind, or for those thinking of creating a Zero Energy Home (ZEH), Building America's researchers estimate that the first 50 to 60% of energy improvements need to focus on reducing the energy used to be economically feasible.
