DYNAMIC HOME ENERGY SURVEY

A home energy audit is a complete, in depth analysis of your home's energy efficiency. At Dynamic we are certified by RESNET and HETI, Home Energy Team, to perform the In-Home Survey Report with Diagnostics.  We are also on the approved list of energy auditors with the State of Virginia Deptment of Energy.
 
During the audit procedure, a certified BPI Analyst will complete an on-site visual evaluation of the home's energy features.  This will assess your home's energy performance.  All data collected will be in a detailed report along with digital photos for your use.
 
By conducting an energy audit, the auditor is able to identify ways to reduce home energy cost. Minimizing energy loss could result in dramatic savings to your energy bills. Once the audit is completed, you will receive a detailed report of the results. The report will highlight any problems and include the auditor's recommendations on actions that need to be taken to improve energy efficiency thereby reduceing home utility cost.
 
The intended result is green home improvements that will increase your home's energy efficiency, comfort level, durability, and lower monthly utility bills. Let us be a part of your next home performance by Energy Star, or Virginia Home Star green remodeling project.
 
Diagnostics

 Considering your heating and cooling load can be up to 50% of your actual energy bill, An Energy ScanIR in conjunction with a Blower Door test will help identify the two largest sources of heat and cooling loss and thereby reduce HOME utility costs.
 

Dynamic Infrared Thermography
   
Is a proven diagnostic technique recommended by the US Department of Energy for identifying areas of heat or cooling loss. Considering your heating and cooling load makes up the largest percentage of your actual energy bill, a thermal scan of your home can identify where those wasted dollars are going, no matter what type of heating or cooling system you have.
Our infrared survey of the building will be focused on the heat or cooling loss by finding damaged, misplaced or missing insulation in the exterior walls, ceilings, and floors.

The inspection report you will receive reflects the conditions of the property at the time of the survey only. For example, weather conditions, inaccessible areas, furniture or appliances that cover a given area.
Note that proper insulation alone does not stop air infiltration in your home. 
 
Dynamic Blower Door Testing for Air Infiltration
 
Our enhanced survey is a more detailed analysis of your home with the inclusion of a Blower Door Fan Test on your home. A Blower Door is used to find air leakage in your home, by quantitatively  measuring air changes per hour.

A Blower Door is a powerful fan that mounts into the frame of an exterior door. The fan pulls air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside. The higher outside air pressure then flows in through all unsealed cracks and openings so we can locate the leakage areas.
Natural air leakage, or air infiltration, occurs when outside air enters a house uncontrollably through cracks and openings. Properly air sealing such cracks and openings in your home can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, improve building durability, and create a healthier indoor environment. Our energy audit also includes duct pressure testing, to check for air leaks in the duct system. 

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you can reduce your heating and cooling costs by 10% by simply reducing the air leaks in your home. Start now to make your home green by haveing a dynamic energy tune-up.
 
Note that air sealing alone can't replace the need for proper insulation throughout your home, which is needed to reduce heat flow.  (Source:  DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy)
