Energy Auditing: How to Increase Your Professional Value
by Jeffrey A. Patterson
What is an Energy Audit?
There are two parts to most energy auditing programs: One is a preliminary audit and the other is called a field audit.
Preliminary Audits: A preliminary audit is one that does not require a field inspection. Information is obtained and, based on the description of the building, the number of residents, and the energy costs of the property, the property can be rated with respect to its energy efficiency. Sometimes this is done for developers on proposed construction.
A Field Audit: A Field Audit is when an energy auditor utilizes equipment to complete a full inspection of the property, and makes a more detailed report and suggestions for improvements regarding the efficiency of the property. On new construction this is typically done after the building is framed and insulated. A report tells the builder the results of testing, as well as where “holes” were found. Then another inspection is done once the property is completed to make sure what was expected to be done was actually completed and that all proper standards have been met.
On existing housing, this is done on an "as is" basis for the property.
