Home Energy Audit is your way to make sure that your home is providing you and your family with a safe, healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient environment. Our comprehensive audit will pinpoint heating, cooling, insulation, and air quality issues using the latest testing and diagnostic equipment and then recommend healthy, yet cost-effective solutions that will make a real difference in comfort, indoor air quality (IAQ) and your energy bill.
By using a Whole House approach testing, Home Energy Audit gets straight to the heart of your energy loss issues by first identifying problem areas and then suggesting cost-effective solutions to suit your priorities and budget. We follow BPI Standard for testing.
BPI whole-house testing efficiency approach recognizes the energy interactions throughout the entire home and acknowledges that deficiencies or inefficiencies in one element of the home can lead to increased energy demand and waste. For example, drafty doors and windows will continue to pull heat from a home, regardless of how efficient a furnace is. And while a more efficient heat source can help reduce energy bills, reducing drafts and eliminating heat loss will have a considerable effect on your budget and comfort level inside the home.
Developed by DOE and its national laboratories, the Home Energy Score provides home owners, buyers, and renters directly comparable and credible information about a home’s energy use.
Imagine you are in the market to buy a car and comparing your options. You are weighing a number of factors in your purchasing decision, including performance, cost, size, and appearance. When you ask the salesperson what the miles-per-gallon rating for each car is, they shrug and say, “I don’t know.” Even if fuel efficiency is not the only factor you are considering, this would probably concern you as a prospective buyer.
And yet, this is how most people make decisions when buying or renting a home: without any information about how much energy the home is expected to use, how much this will cost them, or how to cost-effectively lower energy expenses.
The Home Energy Score Report estimates home energy use, associated costs, and provides energy solutions to cost-effectively improve the home’s efficiency. Each Home Energy Score is shown on a simple one-to-ten scale, where a ten represents the most efficient homes. Mouse over the Home Energy Score graphic below to learn what specific parts of the label mean.
The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the industry standard by which a home’s energy efficiency is measured. It’s also the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance.

A commercial energy audit is the process of inspecting all types and costs associated with a building’s energy usage and consequently identifying opportunities to reduce the overall consumption of the building. With an on-site inspection that evaluates all aspects of the building including:
At the completion of the on-site assessment, a detailed report is generated that explains and prioritizes energy conservation measures (ECMs) with quantifiable cost savings analysis and return on investment for each measure/recommendation.
Commercial energy audit provides customers with a strategic roadmap to minimize operating expenses and a plan to reduce the overall energy costs of a building by 10-60% and in some cases up to 90% reduction.
Our energy audits as well as proven optimization methods deliver an overall reduced carbon footprint resulting in tangible and direct financial savings. While the energy savings potential vary, our process can:
The energy audit process is customized for each property. Impact Energy Consulting provides a tailored program based on your goals and needs. We base our Energy Audit program on The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers’ (ASHRAE) Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits. ASHRAE’s standards are considered the benchmark for building energy codes.
Various degrees of energy analysis can be performed on any given building. Determining major energy-savings improvements require deeper analysis than simply comparing the level of efficiency of a building relative to others. As a result, ASHRAE organized levels of analyses into the categories below.
The preliminary energy audit is the most basic energy audit and involves an analysis of historic energy use and costs. Energy use is typically benchmarked or compared against similar buildings in the same category. The engineering study and analysis of 1-3 years of energy usage are likely to produce significant energy savings based on:
ASHRAE level II starts with findings from level I audit and examines the building energy systems in details in order to define a number of potential Energy Efficiency improvements. This includes:
