Services

We offer a range of Services relating to Home Energy Modeling & Performance

Existing Home - Home Energy Assessment

This is what you’ll need to have done in order to be eligible for the Canada Greener Homes Grant and it involves two on-site visits, a pre- and post-retrofit assessment before and after your retrofits are installed.

This service involves us coming to your house and assessing how efficient it is at keeping the heat in as well as how much energy it requires to maintain a comfortable living environment for the occupants. It involves 2 site visits where we’ll collect data and produce an Energy Model of your home to tell us how well it performs on that day as well as how well it could perform if various improvements were made.

We pass this information off to Natural Resources Canada on your behalf and provide you with a Home Owner Information Sheet, a Renovation Upgrade Report, and an EnerGuide Label.

Hot2000 Energy Modeling

Using approved Energy Modeling software and the data collected during the on-site assessment, we create an Energy Model of your home taking into account your homes orientation, number/size/type of windows, doors, roof type, level of insulation, geographical location, and many other factors to determine among other things, the home’s energy usage and it’s the ability to resist heat loss.

Air Tightness Testing

Whether you’re a homeowner or a builder working on a new project, an air-tightness test will quantify the air leakage through the building envelope and show you where the leakage is occurring.
