Know What to Improve First: Home Performance with Energy Star Evaluation

Not every contractor can use the Home Performance with Energy Star logo. The principals at Jasana have attended rigorous training classes to understand how to inspect, test, and correct energy inefficiencies in your home and to prioritize the largest issues first.

The foundation of all home performance improvements is the inspection and air sealing of your home using a blower door, duct tester, infrared camera, and other specialized equipment. We treat your home like a good doctor treats his patients on their first visit. We interview, evaluate, and test to make sure you fully understand problems before prescribing any treatment.

The evaluation is a full day of inspections, testing, and the first steps of weatherization and energy efficiency. We identify dangerous conditions, wasted energy, and potential health issues to help make your home an oasis. Air leakage (technically known as infiltration) contributes as much as 70% or more of the energy loss in a home. Air sealing, or tightening the building envelope, greatly increases your energy efficiency and has one of the fastest paybacks of anything you can do to your home. Huge savings can be seen in as little as a few months in some cases.

If you hire a company to perform a "test only," you spend hundreds of dollars for a pretty good education. When they come back to perform the air sealing, they can’t know how well they have done unless they hook up the test equipment all over again and charge you again. At Jasana, we know the value of air sealing and perform it at the same time as the testing to save you money. Why pay twice?

Our extensive Home Performance with Energy Star evaluations, coupled with our unparalleled experience, uncover many other hidden problems. We discover energy inefficiencies and unhealthy conditions you may not be aware of in your home. After our evaluation we provide you with a report that shows how well your home is performing in all areas of the house. We also help you prioritize the improvements to meet your needs.

In addition to the Home Performance with Energy Star evaluation, Jasana inspectors will review your home’s performance in the following areas:

• Insulation
• Windows
• Appliances
• Water efficiency and hot water delivery time
• Fire readiness
• Indoor air quality
• Solar opportunities
• Lighting
• Security
• Energy management
