A home energy audit is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient.

An assessment will show you problems that may, when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time. During the assessment, you will see where your house is losing energy. Energy audits also determine the efficiency of your home’s heating and cooling systems, and may also show you ways to conserve hot water and electricity. 
 

COI’s BPI certified auditors use a variety of techniques and equipment to determine the energy efficiency of a structure. Our auditors will 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.

 
Eligibility:

1. Own the 1- to 4- unit residential building.

3. Have not previously received a free/reduced-cost assessment; and
