A Guide to Home Energy Audits and Improvements

• By Johnsons Insulation

2
Understand Your Home's Energy Usage

• A home energy audit offers an evaluation of your
  household's energy consumption patterns. It
  identifies areas of inefficiency and pinpoint
  possibilities for improvement.
• By considering aspects such as insulation
  levels, air leakage, and appliance efficiency,
  the assessment provides a detailed view of your
  home's energy dynamics.

3
Tailored Solutions for Efficiency

• Following the audit, you receive a personalized
  roadmap outlining specific actions to enhance
  energy efficiency and comfort.
• Recommendations are prioritized based on their
  potential impact, guiding homeowners toward the
  most effective measures for maximizing savings
  and comfort.

4
Minimize Drafts and Air Leakage

• Through whole-home air sealing, the auditor
  addresses sources of air leakage and drafts.

• By sealing gaps and cracks, homeowners can
  significantly reduce energy loss and improve
  indoor comfort levels.

5
Enhance Thermal Performance

• Insulation plays a crucial role in preventing
  heat loss and maintaining consistent indoor
  temperatures.
• The auditor may suggest adding insulation to key
  areas such as the attic, foundation, or walls to
  optimize thermal resistance and reduce heating
  and cooling demands.

6
Optimize HVAC Efficiency

• By sealing and insulating ductwork in
  unconditioned spaces, homeowners can enhance the
  efficiency of their heating and cooling systems,
  ensuring more effective air distribution
  throughout the home.

• Unsealed and uninsulated ducts can lead to
  significant energy losses and compromised system
  performance.

7
Mitigate Moisture and Mold

• Addressing internal moisture issues and mold
  growth not only improves indoor air quality but
  also safeguards the structural integrity of the
  home.

• The auditor may recommend remediation strategies
  to mitigate moisture-related issues.

8
Harnessing Modern Solutions

• Beyond traditional measures, the audit may
  suggest integrating modern, energy-efficient
  technologies into the home.
• From smart thermostats and LED lighting to ENERGY
  STAR appliances and solar PV systems, these
  innovations offer long-term energy savings and
  environmental benefits.
