We look at the whole home,
not just a few of the parts
Simply put, Home Performance is taking a holistic view of a building and how the myriad parts work together dynamically. It's not just about energy efficiency, though that's an important part of it, but also about the comfort and health of your home and its environmental impact. It's about collecting data from the many different systems in a home, analyzing it, and deciding which improvements—critical and small—will result in the maximum impact on efficiency, air quality, air movement and comfort.
Home Performance contracting has grown dramatically over the last 10 years as consumers started to realize that they could take charge of their home by better controlling their energy costs, home comfort and health, as well as their environmental impact. This awakening is spreading, and over the next decade you'll probably see Home Performance improvements become an important part of every homeowner's plan.
Customers make the decision to engage a Home Performance expert like planet orange for a variety of reasons. For some it's drafty rooms. For others, spiraling energy costs. Whatever the reason, most are also concerned about their family's impact on the environment and have a desire to reduce their carbon footprint.
The U.S. Department of Energy says that, "Insulating and sealing every home in the U.S. would effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 10%." Think about it. We could save 10% of the total greenhouse gas emissions for the entire United States just by insulating and sealing our homes! And that's just the beginning of what's possible by implementing sensible and proven solutions made possible by a thorough Home Energy Assessment.
