Home Performance With ENERGY STAR® Program
The Whole-House Approach
Rather than focusing on individual components, a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Home Energy Assessment looks at how a combination of improvements can result in a more comfortable home, as well as lower energy use and costs.
Using diagnostic equipment, a specially trained Participating Contractor certified by the Building Performance Institute will:
- Conduct a comprehensive Home Energy Assessment, including a complete visual inspection and diagnostic tests.
- Provide a Home Energy Assessment Report that includes recommended improvements specific to your home, as well as projected energy savings.
To get started, request an assessment and a Participating Contractor will contact you about next steps.
