This course of study is to prepare students to perform residential energy audits. An energy audit will help customers make decisions about how to conserve energy and save money on utility bills. Customers will also benefit from an increase of comfort, health, safety, and the durability of their homes. The audit involves a visual inspection of the residence, a series of diagnostic tests, and a numerical analysis by means of a software package. Auditors inspect, measure, and test to decide what energy-saving retrofits are practical and cost-effective. An energy audit is also called a home energy analysis, a home performance analysis or an energy survey.
