3 ABOUT THIS REPORT Your in-home evaluation was conducted on 2/12/2013. During the inspection, I evaluated your home s structural elements, heating/cooling equipment, and energy consuming appliances. The information gathered during the home inspection provided input data to benchmark the energy use of your home and develop a strategic plan for the most effective way to reduce that energy usage. The attached report details the proposed improvement measures including expected savings for your home. If you have any questions about your home s energy performance, please contact me. Implementing these recommendations will reduce your energy bills and make your home more comfortable and more valuable. It s important to note that savings estimates provided are approximations to help you prioritize changes. The estimations should not be taken as firm commitments.

4 HOW YOUR HOME USES ENERGY Fuel Type Use Unit Price Cost Savings $842 $205 Electricity 8363 kwh $0.10 Total Cost $842 $205 Heating usage includes all energy used to heat your home. Both heating and cooling usage are weather dependent. Base load is the energy use that is independent of the weather. This includes uses like appliances and lighting as well as hot water. This chart shows how your home is currently using energy among these different end uses. Each improvement affects the energy profile of your house in different ways. Insulation will improve both heating and cooling while replacing a refrigerator will only improve the base-load. This chart indicates the proposed energy usage of your house with all the recommended improvements installed to indicate from where your savings will come. 3

6 AIR SEALING Many air leaks and drafts are easy to find because they are easy to feel like those around windows and doors. But holes hidden in attics, basements, and crawlspaces are usually bigger problems. Sealing these leaks with caulk, spray foam, or weather stripping will have a great impact on improving your comfort and reducing utility bills. A house that has a lot of air leaks is subject to the stack effect, which means it tends to pull in unconditioned, outdoor air at the lower levels and then lose air that you have paid to heat or cool at the upper levels -- much like a chimneystack. Some homeowners are concerned about sealing their house too tightly; however, this is very unlikely in older homes. A certain amount of fresh air is needed for good indoor air quality, and there are specifications that set the minimum amount of fresh air needed for a house. Part of the reason I tested your home for its air leakage rate (called the air infiltration rate), is to be sure you get enough fresh air after implementing your energy improvements. Blower Door Test WholeBuildingMechanicalVentilation Building Pressure -50 Building Leakage 2360 Airflow Standard 1830 Recommended Improvements AIR SEALING Notes: Seal all wire, pipe and headers in attic space to eliminate bypasses to conditioned living space. AIR SEALING Notes: Box 5 recessed lights of kitchen to separate living area form Attic space. Also box the 2 bathroom fan lights. 5
7 AIR SEALING Reduce the house air leakage from 2360 CFM50 to 1830 CFM50. Notes: Perform blower door guided air-sealing to reduce air flow through the house to.5 ACH minimum as per ASHRAE Standards. Use attached Blower door Air leakage Test results as a starting point. 6
8 There are many points of leakage in homes that are leaky and inadequately air sealed. The thermal image above shows you the sources of air leaks in a typical home. Some are obvious like the red areas around windows and doors. Others, like those in attics, are trickier to both see and seal. 7
9 HEATING AND COOLING During the winter, homeowners expect their heating systems to keep them warm without breaking the bank. ENERGY STAR qualified heating equipment can be up to 15 percent more efficient than standard models. Benefits of Energy Star Systems Lower Utility Bills. ENERGY STAR qualified heating systems are designed to use less energy than standard systems. When properly installed, these heating systems can save money on utility bills. Less Risk of Air Quality Problems. ENERGY STAR qualified gas-fired boilers and furnaces are designed to reduce the risk of back-drafting dangerous carbon monoxide exhaust into the home. Increased Durability. Most ENERGY STAR qualified boilers, furnaces, and heat pumps employ advanced technologies and high quality components, often resulting in longer equipment life and longer warranties compared to standard models. Heat Pump Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one integrated system. Electric Air-Source Heat Pumps are often used in moderate climates and use the difference between outdoor and indoor air temperatures to cool and heat. ENERGY STAR qualified Heat pumps have higher SEER and EER ratings than conventional models. They also have a higher Heating and Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF), which measures the heating efficiency of the heat pump. Geothermal heat pumps (also known as Ground-source heat pumps) are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies currently available, because they use the earth s natural heat to provide heating, cooling, and often, water heating. Air Conditioner Most residential central air conditioners are called split-systems because they have an outdoor component with a condenser and compressor and an indoor component with an evaporator coil. It s very important to replace both of these units at the same time. Installing a new outdoor unit without replacing the indoor unit is likely to result in low efficiency, and may lead to premature failure of the system. ENERGY STAR qualified central air conditioners have higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings than today s standard models. SEER is the most commonly used measurement of efficiency for air conditioners. It measures how efficiently a cooling system will operate over an entire season. EER measures how efficiently a cooling system will operate when the outdoor temperature is at a specific level (95 degrees F). The central air conditioner also needs a blower motor which is usually part of the furnace to blow the cool air through the duct system. The only way to ensure that your new air conditioner performs at its rated efficiency, is to replace your heating system at the same time. It s especially recommended if your furnace is over 15 years old. If you purchase a new energy-efficient air conditioner but connect it to an older furnace and blower motor, your system will not perform to its rated efficiency.

10 INSULATION Insulation is one of the keys to a comfortable, energy-efficient home. But simply having the right amount of insulation is not enough. If insulation is not properly installed, a home can have excessive heat gain during the summer and heat loss in the winter forcing the heating and cooling systems to work overtime. Properly installed insulation will completely blanket the home exterior walls, ceiling, and floors without gaps, voids, or compressions, and it will be in full contact with the interior air barrier (for example, drywall). Continuous sealing of the air barrier along the insulation is also critical to protecting against moisture damage that can be caused by warm air flow through the insulation to colder surfaces where it can condense. Benefits of Properly Installed Insulation Enhanced Comfort. Properly installed insulation minimizes temperature variability indoors and helps keep rooms warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Lower Utility Bills. As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. By preventing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, a properly installed insulation barrier reduces utility bills year round. Improved Durability. When insulation is properly installed, the potential for condensation that can lead to decay of building materials is reduced, helping to improve the durability of your home. Better Resale Position. The improved comfort, lower utility bills, and improved durability of a properly installed insulation barrier can translate into higher resale value compared to less efficient homes. Recommended Improvements VAULTED CEILING INSULATION Improve 118 sq ft of vaulted ceiling from 5.5 inches of insulation to 9.25 inches of insulation Notes: Add fiberglass batt insulation to existing R-19 batt on vaulted ceiling in attic space. RIM JOIST INSULATION Improve 114 sq ft of rim joist from Low insulation to High insulation Notes: Insulate and seal Basement Rim Joists to reduce Heat loss and air infiltration. ATTIC INSULATION Improve 1,436 sq ft of attic floor insulation from 9 inches to 15 inches. Notes: Existing Attic insulation is uneven between 6" - 12" thickness with an average R-value of R22. Increase existing Blown in Fiberglass to either R-38 on the low end or R-50 on the high. 9

12 HOT WATER Heating water accounts for about 15 percent of a home's energy use. High efficiency water heaters use 10 to 50 percent less energy than standard models, saving homeowners money on their utility bills. Actual energy savings from high efficiency water heaters depend on family size, heater location, and the size and placement of water pipes.

13 WINDOWS Windows provide natural daylight and views, but homeowners often use drapes or blinds to cover them because of comfort concerns. ENERGY STAR qualified windows and skylights allow owners to enjoy the light and views while saving money on utility bills and protecting valuable furnishings and finishes from sun damage. Independently tested for superior energy performance, ENERGY STAR qualified windows and skylights are also better for the environment because lowering energy use helps reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants at the source. Benefits of ENERGY STAR qualified windows and skylights include Energy Savings Improved Comfort Protection of Your Home's Interior Reduced Condensation WINDOW TINTING Residential window tinting is not only affordable, but an effective form of conservation. Solar window film saves energy and increases comfort through: Keeping filmed buildings cooler in the summer by minimizing the presence of heat producing infrared rays. Retaining heat during the winter by providing insulation for filmed windows. Solar film increases the U-factor of less efficient windows. Reduce HVAC strain by preventing hotspots in large buildings. Hotspots can create situations where the air conditioning system will be running in one area of the building and heat simultaneously in another. Reducing glare that increases eye fatigue.and lowers productivity. Protecting valuable furnishings from fading and sun damage. Existing Window Glazing Double Pane (low-e) 12
14 LIGHTING & APPLIANCES APPLIANCES Every appliance comes with two price tags: what it costs to take it home and what it costs to operate and maintain it each month. ENERGY STAR qualified appliances incorporate advanced technologies and use 10 to 50 percent less energy than standard appliances. From refrigerators to clothes washers, ENERGY STAR qualified appliances save energy, save money, and help reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants at the source. Benefits of ENERGY STAR Qualified Appliances Lower Utility Bills. Appliances account for nearly 20 percent of the average household s energy use. A comprehensive package of ENERGY STAR qualified appliances can save up to $80 a year in energy costs compared to standard appliances. Improved Quality and Durability. Energy-efficient appliances often include quality components surpassing those found in standard appliances. These can result in fewer mechanical problems, longer equipment life, and in many cases extended warranties. Enhanced Performance. ENERGY STAR qualified appliances often outperform standard appliances due to improved design and advanced technologies. For instance, some ENERGY STAR qualified appliances include features that decrease operating noise, while others include technologies that reduce water use. Lightbulbs & Fixtures Choosing more efficient light bulbs or light fixtures can make a big difference on utility bills and for the environment. Replacing the five most frequently used light fixtures in a home with ENERGY STAR qualified lighting can save about $65 each year in energy costs. Benefits of ENERGY STAR Qualified Fixtures and Bulbs Cost Savings. An ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) uses about 75 percent less energy than a comparable standard incandescent bulb. Replacing a 60-watt incandescent with a 13- watt CFL can save more than $30 in energy costs over the life of the bulb. Improved Safety. ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs operate at less than 100 degrees F and are safer than the halogen bulbs typically used in floor lamps or torchieres, which burn at 1,000 degrees F. Halogen bulbs, when improperly handled, can cause burns and fires due to their high heat output. Enhanced Comfort. Compared to standard incandescent bulbs, ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs generate about 75 percent less heat. This means they are cool to the touch, help reduce home cooling costs, and keep homes more comfortable. Durability. ENERGY STAR qualified fixtures and bulbs meet strict guidelines for longevity. Pin-based fixtures must last 10,000 hours, about 10 times longer than standard. CFLs must last 6,000 hours. In addition, ENERGY STAR qualified fixtures come with a 2-year warranty double the industry standard.

15 RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASUREMENTS In addition to energy savings, your home was checked for any underlying health and safety issues such as proper ventilation, carbon monoxide levels, and proper venting of any combustion appliances. To assess your home, a series of measurements were performed including a blower door test to depressurize the house and assess air leakage levels in addition to safety tests on HVAC equipment, including carbon monoxide levels and combustion appliance back-draft testing (not applicable on an all-electric home). The results of these tests are presented here along with any recommended actions for improving your home where it fails to meet national standards for a healthy and safe home.

A Carbon Footprint is a snapshot of how much carbon dioxide(co2) is produced in a particular span of time by an area, object, or person. In this case, it is a measure of your home's CO2 production over a 12 month period. Typically the higher this is, the greater potential there is for reduction and savings. To find out more about your carbon footprint, visit Report Date: February 20, Things You Can Do To Shrink Your Energy Bill Cost effective energy use reductions of 40% to 50% can be realized when you use a whole house, performance tested approach on your current home. 1. Set back your thermostat: Setting thermostats down to 60 degrees when you are in bed or away saves significant energy. Automatic thermostats, adjusted to your schedule, make this very easy. 2. Stop using unnecessary refrigerators: Refrigerators are significant energy users. Turn off unused refrigerators that are only needed seasonally, and consolidate the contents of nearly empty refrigerators and freezers. 3. Lower your water heater tank temperature setting: Reducing hot water tank temperature down to 120 degrees, or lower, can save significant energy, while reducing the risk of scalding. This lower setting will not reduce your bathing enjoyment. 4. Use compact fluorescent or LED lighting: Compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs are a very cost effective way to reduce energy consumption. They are available in many sizes and shapes for most any location. LED bulbs are even more efficient than CFL and are extraordinarily effective for many locations. 5. Use a low flow shower head: Heating water takes energy, so using half the amount of hot water saves substantial energy. There are a wide variety of low flow shower heads available that provide a satisfying experience while conserving energy. Seek the help of a professional building performance contractor for these tasks: 1. Seal against air infiltration: Reducing the exchange of conditioned air to the outside, or outside air to the inside is a most effective way to reduce energy consumption. A whole house de-pressurization test is the most reliable way to understand the effectiveness of a comprehensive air sealing effort. 2. Seal and insulate your attic: Sealing and insulating the ceiling between your attic and living space is often, also, a very good energy saving measure. An inspection by a qualified professional can determine the efficacy of this measure, in relation to others, as part of a whole house energy audit. 3. Insulate exterior walls and floors: Increasing the amount and quality of insulation in exterior walls and floors, though it can be difficult, is often necessary to the overall effectiveness of the whole house remediation effort. Specialized equipment of the building performance contractor is useful to pinpoint the exact areas that need work. 4. Update your heating and cooling equipment: Efficiency of heating and cooling equipment has been increasing such that the proper sized system may be smaller than your current one. If your equipment is old, or has not been serviced recently, you may benefit by having it serviced or replaced with a new efficient model. 5. Update your water heater: Water heating equipment efficiency has been increasing, as well. If your equipment is old, or has not been serviced recently, you may benefit by having it serviced or replaced with a new efficient model.
