What is an energy audit of a house and apartment.

An energy audit should be understood as an examination of your apartment, cottage or house to identify all possible ways of saving energy resources (gas, electricity, firewood, water and so on), which is directly connected with your money, and it’s also very important increasing conditions for a comfortable stay at the object of examination (raising the temperature inside the room, lowering or increasing humidity, and more).

The main goal of an energy audit is to obtain specific recommendations on how to reduce energy consumption. For example, you can say the following: often you can hear that insulating facades gives an average savings of 25-30%. At the same time, they call approximate investments and that’s all, then your competence is to do it or not.

If we are suitable for energy audit services, you will receive a report which clearly states:

- the number of square meters for insulation;

- the composition of the wall (for example: sislate brick + plaster + drywall) and ego thermal resistance (thermal resistance of the wall is in fact a very important indicator when calculating the insulation thickness, few people know about this)

- assessment of the condition of the enclosing structures;

- insulation, which will be appropriate to use in your case, its thickness, density;

- recommendation on the structure of insulation;

- The specific amount of investment required for insulation;

- the effect of thermal modernization, that is, the amount of gas, Gcal, or kW hours how much you can really save.

Often we hear from future customers - “and so everyone understands what needs to be done: change windows, insulate the facade, change the boiler - and we will be fine.”

In response, we ask them:

- And what should be done first of all in your case?

- What is advisable to do now, and then what?

- What thickness of insulation do you need, or will it be easier for you to change the boiler in the house, which will save 35% with investments four times less than with insulation of the facade and savings of 30%?

Therefore, we always recommend approaching each object and customer individually, due to various factors, both customer’s behavioral and the characteristics of the building itself. These include:

- quality of operation of engineering systems and building envelopes;

- the use of various sources of energy supply;

- quantity and quality of revisions / reconstructions;

- use of electrical equipment;

Therefore, in order not to continue to pay huge energy bills and think about all kinds of energy saving options, you can order an energy survey (energy audit).
