A home energy audit is often the first step in making your home more efficient. An audit can help you assess how much energy your home uses and evaluate what measures you can take to improve efficiency.
But remember, audits alone don't save energy. You need to implement the recommended improvements.
If you are interested in getting specific recommendations for improving the efficiency of your home, contact the Member Services Department at RushShelby Energy. They will help you determine the best ways to improve your home's efficiency or refer you for a home energy audit. During an energy audit, a variety of techniques and equipment will be used to determine the energy efficiency of your home. Complete audits use equipment such as blower doors, which measure the extent of leaks in the building envelope, and infrared cameras, which reveal hard-to-detect areas of air infiltration and missing insulation.
