America's Comprehensive Home Energy Audit Course (ACHEA) will achieve that purpose.

This 2 day course includes a study of energy concepts, ACHEA system training prepared by (America’s HERO),  providing an in-depth, comprehensive problem-solving and learning experience for those who want a greater understanding of the latest energy cost reduction techniques and strategies. The instructor will move you into a working level knowledge of specific principles and techniques to do the job as you examine basic fundamentals of energy management.

This approach has been specifically designed to fulfill the needs of professional raters who seek more detailed learning experience than can be provided in the rater course alone. You will gain the knowledge and confidence to effectively apply state-of-the-art principles of energy management, and control energy costs for your projects.

Purpose of energy audits gives home owners description and condition of major systems in the facility, collecting data and identifying energy management opportunities, evaluation of combustion efficiency HVAC systems, boilers, heaters, air flow and air leak measurement, thermography, cost and benefit versus life cycle analysis

Energy Survey – Typically is a visual inspection of a home and lacks in depth analysis and testing.

America’s Comprehensive Home Energy Audits, (ACHEA) – Typically is a combination of a survey, inspection, testing and in-depth analysis of energy flows in a home or building.

It is conducted specifically to expose opportunities to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). If the object of study is a home presently occupied then reducing energy consumption while maintaining and improving human comfort, health and safety are of primary concern. An energy audit must prioritize the energy uses accordingly from the greatest to least cost effective opportunities for energy savings.
