Home Energy Audit
The Carbon and Energy Audit group of the Green Community Project has been researching home energy audits and I volunteered to be among a group of families testing out various local audit companies. So yesterday Tom Testa, pictured above, came to check out our home. First he performed some safety checks to be sure we had safe carbon monoxide levels coming from our furnace and hot water heater as well as checking for gas leaks. Then he put the house through a series of tests. Here you see him installing a big fan at my front door that made negative pressure throughout the house so he could tell where leaks were. He had all kinds of amazing "toys" like that and was extremely knowledgeable about how home systems ought to work. I can't wait to get his report, which will include a cost-benefit analysis of changes we can implement to make our home more energy efficient. Members of the Mountain Lakes League of Women Voters can hear the Carbon and Energy Audit groups findings at either of the April meetings and updates from the other Green Community Project groups.
