Home Energy Auditing Courses

This Home Energy Auditing course will teach students about home energy auditing techniques and how to apply them outside the classroom in a real-world scenario. Against a backdrop of degree day theory, concepts behind calculating by measure, saving paybacks, building science, infiltration theory, and approved retrofits, class participants will learn home energy auditing techniques and apply them in a field exercise. Techniques include blower door guided air leakage tests, heat systems testing and analysis, material estimation, measuring and working with a field data collection form. A field trip to an actual house to conduct an energy audit is included.
