Home Energy Assessment
Conducted by an authorized Home Energy Assessor which evaluates more than 70 pieces of home information are collected during the assessment. Information about a home’s envelope (e.g. foundation, insulation, walls, windows) as well as its heating, cooling and hot water systems will be entered into energy modeling software.
Home Energy Score
The home energy score measures the energy efficiency of a home based on an onsite evaluation of its physical characteristics. It is a standardized rating system that estimates a home’s energy use based on its “envelope” (foundation, roof, walls, insulation, windows), energy systems, and square footage. Developed by the US Department of Energy, it is a 1 to 10 score which provides home owners, buyers, and renters directly comparable and credible information about a home’s energy use.
Home Inspection
Include a comprehensive pre-listing inspection with the Home Energy Score Assessment to obtain a clearer picture of the home’s condition to help establish a path toward a more successful sale.
