Assessment
What is An Energy Audit?
An energy audit with Rockford Insulation Pros identifies energy deficient areas in your home or business. An audit explains the amount of energy being used, where energy is being lost, areas to improve to increase energy efficiency, evaluates combustion safety and measures indoor air quality.
The assessment is based off of a collection of energy examinations which expose any faults in the insulation or building systems or structure. After energy issues have been diagnosed, an insulation strategy plan is formulated to bring you the best possible efficiency and comfort.
Home Energy Assessment Tests
During a Home Energy Assessment, a Rockford Insulation Pros certified energy assessor carries out a series of diagnostic tests which uncover any parts of the structure where energy is being lost, as well as inspecting for combustion safety and indoor air quality issues.
Blower door testing examines how much air is emerging or exiting from the structure. A strong blower fan is attached to a door frame on the exterior of the building. The fan begins blowing out air and lowering the interior air pressure. Once the interior air pressure is lower than that of the exterior, any gaps or cracks within the building begin to draw in the outside air, revealing trouble spots and drafts within the structure.
Thermal imaging inspections scale interior walls with a thermal image device in order to find temperature differences and missing insulation. This inspection is generally performed in conjunction with a blower door test. The air escaping the structure appears as black streaks on the thermal imaging device, exposing the weak points within the building.
Combustion safety tests are conducted with a monometer tool, which evaluates the structure for any gas leaks and determines that all combustible appliances are adequately vented and working efficiently.
Indoor air quality tests investigate the indoor air quality for pollutants such as excess moisture, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, and radon.
