An energy auditor’s main goal is to identify and prioritize
opportunities for energy savings through data analysis, visual inspection, and
the use of various diagnostic tools.

The auditor begins by visually inspecting the exterior of
the home, looking for clues of energy waste, ventilation, or drainage problems.
On the inside of the home, the auditor will look for obvious signs of air flow
problems, measure insulation value in the attic, and search for any gaps within
the home that could be causing drafts and air leakage. Depending on the type of
audit, an auditor may also install energy saving products during his audits.

Finally, the energy auditor job includes preparing a report
to explain any issues that were uncovered. The report will include recommended
solutions and cost savings associated with each installed measure. This allows
homeowners to prioritize repairs and upgrades. Recommendations may include
attic insulation, energy efficient appliance and lighting upgrades, window
retrofits, and heating and air conditioning system upgrades.
