The Importance of an Energy Audit

The first step to assess how much energy your home consumes, is a home energy assessment (or audit). This evaluates what measures you should take to make your home more energy efficient.

An audit will highlight problems that can be solved and save you significant amounts of money over time. In essance, the audit shows you where your house is losing energy and assesses the efficiency of your heating systems.

For developers, a complete energy analysis is performed at the design stages and various improvements and renewable scenarios are accessed. The output is a combined energy strategy optimized to your building to give peak energy performance and enable you the developer to obtain grants associated with the building of sustainable housing schemes.
