An EnerGuide Home Evaluation is typically the first step in the process for Federal, Provincial and Municipal programs. Homesol’s Registered Energy Advisors (REA) efficiently collects data on a building’s thermal enclosure and mechanical systems. They perform an airtightness test and identify all significant air leaks. This information is entered into the energy model (Hot2000) from which the REA recommends upgrades based on a House-as-a-System approach – first with a conservation approach with increased thermal enclosure performance, then with appropriate mechanical systems and technologies. These are outlined in the Renovation Upgrade Report, which is provided to the homeowner along with the EnerGuide Label and Homeowner Information Sheet.
