An energy audit helps identify cost effective ways to improve the comfort and efficiency of your home/office/place of business and may help reduce your utility bills.
LPEA Assessment
If you
are a LPEA customer, then you may receive an energy walk through
assessment at no charge by simply contacting LPEA and requesting a free energy assessment.
Atmos Audit
If
you are an Atmos Energy customer, then you may be eligible for a $100 credit on your natural gas bill. To
schedule an audit, call 1-888-212-5899 or schedule online .
On-line Audit
You may perform your own do-it-yourself
energy audit or use an online energy
audit tool such as the Touchstone Energy Cooperative Home Energy Saver. These tools have
built-in formulas which use the information you enter to generate
a report that provides energy efficiency recommendations specific
to your situation. Commonly
recommended improvements can be reviewed here .
Professional Audit
An auditor can
conduct different levels of audits ranging from a quick
walk-through to identify major problem areas to a comprehensive
analysis of the implications of alternative energy efficiency
measures.
If the auditor is Residential Energy Services
Network (RESNET) certified, they can also provide
a Home Energy Rating (HERS) index
number to allow you to benchmark your home against others in the nation and in our area. An energy rating also allows a homebuyer to easily compare the energy performance of the homes being considered.
The goal of an audit is to quantify overall
thermal performance. The leakage rate or infiltration of air
through the building envelope is strongly affected by window
construction and quality of door seals such as weather stripping.
Therefore, an onsite audit may involve recording various
characteristics of the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows,
and skylights and the use of techniques and tools such as a blower
door test and thermographic
scan (infrared camera) .
An audit report could show energy use for a given time period, such as one year, and the impact of any suggested improvements per year. Reports can help you prioritize energy-efficient projects and could include:
- Descriptions of
energy-conservation or corrective measures
- Estimates of implementation
cost
- Potential operating cost
savings
- Payback periods.
How did you do?
If you do conduct an audit, 4CORE would appreciate receiving a copy of your audit report. This information would be used to help 4CORE tailor programs and rebates to meet the needs of area residents and businesses. |
