What software program do you use for performing an energy audit or energy inspection?
I want to strike a deal with a software company for all InterNACHI inspectors who desire to perform an energy audit or inspection. BEN GROMICKO InterNACHI Director of Education 'Now That You've Had a Home Inspection' Book Home Inspection Training Video on USB |

If I'm not mistaken, there are several inspectors using HIP (Home Inspector Pro) that have created templates for IR reporting.
You might want to post this over on the HIP forum... http://www.homeinspectorpro.com/insp...on-Discussion/ I know that when/if I get into IR, I want Home Inspector Pro for my software Steven Waskewicz Rest Assured Inspection Services, LLC. 719-510-7703 mobile all the time 719-495-7166 Fax. s_waskewicz@msn.com HVAC Lic. #10722 EPA cert.544143239730 www.restassuredinspection.com NACHIiid=NACHI06032370 |

I am RESNET certified and am having difficulty finding the right program. I have used REMrate, Energy Gauge and the Oak Ridge Weatherization program. Whatever program is used we need the ability to plug in different variables such as increased insulation and energy/money saved or money saved by radiant barrier vs the cost. The program needs to be able to use blopwer door and duct blaster numbers before improvements and after.

I found Home Energy Tune-up to be shallow and simplistic.

Sorry Ben - it is primarily based on Canadian Geographical Climatic data.

There certainly are a lot of so-called "energy auditor" certification organizations out there...with no particular U.S. defined standard required by anyone, that I can find. This field seems to be wide open...and ripe for fraud? correct me if I'm wrong. I know of the LEEDS certification for builders, RESNET for "Energy Auditors", (huge training costs IMHO) HomeTuneUP auditors, and countless other certifiers for energy related fields. Yet I can't find anyone "requiring" anything like them. I guess its a matter of how much "energy related" background, education, experience and certifications you have? Seems to be a lot of "self proclamation" going on, with no benchmarks that I can see. What should a consumer expect from an "energy auditor"? comments welcome.

Not all consumers want an energy star grade on their home, they just want to save money on their utility bills. That why we are starting free energy audit classes... http://www.energyauditclass.com
