Look for ways to be more resourceful with the energy we use and embrace change individually. This approach can be carried to all aspects of our lives. In terms of individual homes and buildings, immediate results can come from analyzing potential areas of energy loss, by performing do it yourself energy audits. Or, look into contracting for professional energy audits.
Professional energy audits typically use a blower door test and a thermographic scan to provide more detailed results about the thermal performance of a building. Through this process, consumers can pinpoint problem areas throughout the building envelope (including the walls, roof, windows and doors, etc.) where improvements through weatherization can be made.
