SENS 2 - Defining Energy Audits: Emerging Models

Tuesday, April 08, 2008  ·  1:30 PM - 3:10 PM

Continuing the heated discussion from last year's "Energy Audit Smackdown" - where battle lines were drawn between clipboard audits and comprehensive assessments, this session will recap divergent positions and seek to find common ground. Come learn how to connect the "audit dots" from online to clip board to comprehensive and their relative value in motivating the home owner to make efficiency improvements. Steve Baden will detail RESNET's new national energy audit standard, and where it is going.
