Whats in the professional energy audit kit?
The Professional Edition of the Home Energy Audit kit is perfect for the homeowner who wants it all, and wants to save the most money on their energy bills. This kit picks up where a basic audit leaves off, and doesn’t stop until it covers more about your home’s heating and cooling system, explains where it loses energy, and how to find hidden money saving opportunities where you would least expect it.
The kit covers advanced auditing techniques once reserved for professionals, and discusses how results can be replicated at a fraction of the cost. If you want to know if your window or doors are leaking energy, or perhaps your walls might be underinsulated and want to know how much money you’re losing, this is the kit for you.
Here’s what you’ll find in the Professional Home Energy Audit Kit:
- The Professional Edition of the Home Energy Audit Guide. It covers everything the starter edition does, then goes in detail about advanced auditing topics such as heat loss through walls and windows/doors, heat loss through your ducts, furnace efficiency, insulation, and much more. You will learn not only how to find problems, but ways to measure them and then fix them.
- Printable Energy Audit Form. Flexible and powerful enough to both record basic energy usage and the results of your advanced audit results. You can print it off and use it as many times as you want, as its sized to fit on 8.5 x 11 paper.
- Energy Cost Calculator. This simple workbook does all the hard work for you. Simply plug in your findings from the audit and presto! You can instantly see how much money you are spending on every single appliance in the house on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. This is truly powerful information that almost no professional can give you.
- Two Sample calculators. Learn by example with these two filled out calculators that document the results of two actual professional quality audits conducted recently using the techniques in the professional audit guide.
- Energy Loss calculator. This truly powerful workbook tells you how much heat you are losing because of bad insulation, faulty windows, a leaky door, poor construction, mold damage or mildew problems. These “hidden” energy wasters and invisible to the naked eye, but they can’t hide from a professional energy audit you will conduct!
- Energy Loss Sample Calculator. See the results of a real professional energy audit, and how much a particular home is losing due to bad insulation and bad windows.
- Duct Heat Loss Calculator. Whether you have forced air heating/cooling, boiler, gravity, or geothermal systems, this workbook will tell you how efficient your system really is by using basic measurements you can take in seconds.
- Heating Estimator. Guess no more about the size of heater or air conditioner you need for a room in your house. This workbook takes basic measurements and tells you precisely the BTU rating you need to warm (or cool) your room efficiently. (And don’t believe the measurement on the box of your unit! It’s almost NEVER correct. It’s all guesswork until you use this estimating tool.)
- Guide to using the calculators. This guide will walk you through, step by step, how to get the most out of the energy calculators at your disposal. You will learn how to find out how much money you are losing, how much you could save through conservation or by swapping out an appliance, or reducing usage.
- Complete guide to energy saving tips. Over 150 of the best energy saving tips are ready for you to use (once you do an energy audit and find out what you need to fix, of course!) The original, expanded version of this guide sold for $50 alone and spanned over 400 pages. Condensed into easy to understand segments and tips, the same information is now available for you to use.
- Homebuyer Energy Checklist. If you are buying a home, renting an apartment or just fix homes for a living, you need this book. Short and concise, it contains several checklists and guidelines on what to look for when buying a home or renting an apartment with respect to home energy. This will save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs which starts as soon as you move in. There is no guide like this in existence today.
- Developing an Energy Savings Plan. 90% of homeowners who know they are losing energy still fail at reducing their energy bills because they don’t develop an energy savings plan. Find out the crucial steps to take to avoid making the same mistakes when developing a plan to save energy.
