The application of design and construction for comfort and wellness is building science. Building science is the process of best selection of construction factors to achieve an energy balance of building envelope, mechanical systems and airtightness. The principal areas to achieve comfort and wellness are temperature, humidity, and CO2. All are important for healthy living.
The means to measure an energy balance is the Energuide Rating System (ERS). ERS is the way that we valid high performance construction such as Energy Star, Net Zero, Passive House.

Home energy audits for homeowners
An energy assessment with a formal energy audit is a great way to reduce your seasonal utility bills by up to 30%. A Certified Energy Auditor will help you discover areas of your home not operating at peak efficiency and what changes you can make to improve your home’s performance.

Water
Some of the most common changes include adding insulation to the attic or basement, sealing cracks, gaps, or weaknesses, retrofitting exterior wall insulation, and improving R-Values around the home. Heating and cooling costs account for the majority of our energy consumption, so without these improvements, thousands of dollars are often wasted year-round from poorly performing homes.
