Home Performance with ENERGY STAR takes your entire home into account—from heating and cooling systems to weatherization—to show how your house uses energy and what improvements will help your home work at peak performance, using the least energy. Watch the video below to see how a testing is performed.
Using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, a contractor trained and certified to Building Performance Institute (BPI) standards will test and evaluate all components of your home, including:
Exterior inspection—Inspects for moisture problems, proper attic and crawl space ventilation and window inefficiencies
Interior inspection—Inspects for indoor moisture problems, proper room ventilation, air leaks and insulation levels
Attic inspection—Inspects insulation levels and ventilation
Crawl space and basement inspection—Inspects for moisture problems, insulation levels and air sealing
Diagnostic testing for combustion safety—Tests for efficiency and any natural gas leaks or gaseous toxin levels
Blower Door test—Measures volume of air leaking from your home and helps identify locations of leaks
Duct Blaster test—Measures volume of air leaking from your ducts and helps identify leaks
