Getting Ready for an Energy Assessment • Make a list of any existing problems, such as condensation and uncomfortable or draughty rooms, before the energy assessor comes to your house. Have copies or a summary of the home's annual energy bills on hand. (Your utility company may be able to provide these, or you may be able to obtain them online.) This information is used by auditors to determine what to look for during the audit. The assessor will also speak with you to better understand your assessment needs and interests. The assessor will look at the outside of the house to determine its size and features (i.e., wall area, number and size of windows). The assessor willthen examine how you use your home: • Isanyonehomeduringtheday? • Whatarethe normalthermostatsetting forthesummer andthewinter? • Howmanypeopledoyousupposeresidethere? • Iseveryroomoccupied? • Your responses may lead to the discovery of some simple ways to reduce your household's energy consumption.
