Glossary

When your goal is to improve the energy-efficiency of your home and thus reduce your utility bills and be a good steward of this planet, you need to address four main aspects of energy use and comfort. These tests are sometimes, but not always, used in a home audit or survey:

Infiltration is measured by a blower door test and determined an energy audit by an experienced person.
Distribution of air in your cooling and heating system is measured by a duct leakage test and determined an energy audit by an experienced person.
Detect thermal defects and air leakage in building envelopes and in attic insulations with an infrared camera or digital thermoneter.
Radiation is determined by a visual energy audit by an experienced person.
Comfort is determined by a visual energy audit by an experienced person.

After the energy audit is finished, expect to receive a report which reveals:

A prioritized list of what home improvements you need for energy efficiency.
A complete list of what is needed for your personal energy freedom.
