•    Insulation levels survey
•    Blower door test
•    Duct leakage test
•    Major appliance survey
•    Minor appliance survey
•    Ductwork inspection and assessment
•    Heating/cooling equipment survey
 
With this information and analysis, the client is given a menu of opportunity which outlines the energy savings opportunities and the relative cost associated with the opportunities so the client can make an educated choice about how to proceed with their energy efficiency upgrades.
