Abstract
Residential home energy assessments, also known as home energy audits, are comprehensive evaluations of a home’s energy use conducted by certified home energy raters. Energy assessments help consumers identify areas in their home where significant energy savings can be made. Energy assessments also identify occupant behaviors that contribute to overall energy use. The E-Conservation Consumer Energy Education Program successfully utilized home energy audits to help consumers identify building structure and occupant behaviors that contributed to high energy use in their homes. Examining impacts of the audits revealed that those homeowners who were able to implement suggestions from the energy audits realized home energy savings. Examination also revealed that time, cost, and lack of information served as barriers to making home energy efficient improvements.
