What does an Energy Auditor (Residential) do?
A residential energy auditor inspects your home's insulation, air leaks, windows, ductwork and heating and cooling (HVAC) systems, often with a blower-door test and thermal imaging camera. You get a home energy audit report that ranks the upgrades that will cut your utility bills the most. Energy audits are often required to qualify for utility rebates, weatherization programs and energy-efficiency tax credits.
