We understand the interrelated and complex issues of energy waste, comfort challenges, health and safety factors, and chronic building durability faults. At Cozy Home we follow a House as a System protocols established by Building Performance Institute, The Department of Energy and Energy Star for both the assessment and remediation of the building. Rest assured, chronic ice damming can be solved, moisture levels reduced, cold rooms made warm and fuel costs reduced.

Energy Assessment / Building Evaluation:
A comprehensive energy assessment will identify the multiple root causes responsible for energy loss, durability issues and compromised living environment. This is a paid for service and costs vary upon the building type and clients needs. Process Includes:
- Building History: What is the building history and experiences of occupants: cold drafts, floors, excessive window condensation, ice dams, fumes/odors, mold, high energy bills, noisy, rodent penetration, etc.
- Building Inspection: From crawlspaces to kneewalls to attics to determine integrity of air barrier and insulation performance. Examples of the most common building issues include: Ice Damming • Drafty Rooms • Crawlspace/Basement concerns • ineffective attic insulation • and other health/safety and durability compromises. We will diagnosis the problems and identify the underlining root causes. Often issues are systemic and multifaceted and will require comprehensive remediation.
- Building Diagnostics: Supporting diagnostics/analysis including infrared scanning of exterior surfaces and envelope airtightness test using a blower door are performed to provide an in-depth assessment. Digital documentation is used extensively to record the building performance compromises.
- Health and Safety: The safe operation of combustion equipment is tested, mechanical ventilation requirements are verified and building durability compromises are all inspected.
- Reporting: A summary of findings, with photo documentation is provided that includes a preliminary prioritized remediation plan. Peace of mind will result as you gain an understanding of the root causes and how the issue(s) impact other house-as-a system interactions.
- Proposal: Upon review of findings a full proposal is generated followed by a contract and scheduling of the job. Your satisfaction guaranteed!
