The Home Energy Report™ will give a home buyer a quick understanding of:

where energy (and, therefore, money) is being wasted in the home; and
what can be done to save energy and increase comfort.

insulation R-value at the foundation, ceiling and walls;
air tightness and air leakage rates;
skylights and window types and sizes;
appliances and equipment, size, age, capacities and efficiencies; and
