It is not new, but it is about to explode on the scene! Listen to recorded discussions about what we find in the Maryland housing stock that leads to nagging comfort problems and high energy usage. Insulation, air sealing, duct leakage, blower door testing, and many other building science topics will be covered, including information about the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Program and the Inflation Reduction Act rebates and tax incentives. Eric is a certified energy auditor and has his Envelope Professional and Building Analyst Certification through the Building Performance Institute.
