Your Home

Our Energy Audits and Whole House Assessments are based in building science and our understanding of your house as a system. Building science is focused on analyzing the natural and physical forces affecting your home, such as weather, material properties, physics, chemistry, biology and geology and understanding how to control these forces so your home will perform optimally.

Viewing your house as a complete and interrelated system allows us to identify problem areas and the root causes of issues in your home that are causing issues in comfort, air quality and energy efficiency.

Our understanding of building science and viewing your home as a system allow us to identify the root causes of breakdowns in your home’s performance and provide treatments for more than just the symptoms. For example, a humid home or room could be fixed by treating the symptom with a dehumidifier. The proper way would be to assess the problem in ventilation and airflow allowing humidity to build up. This not only solves the humidity problem, but will also correct air quality issues and add to the overall efficiency of the HVAC system.
