💨 Abstract

Homes contribute about 15% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, making them a critical area for reducing carbon footprints. A professional home energy assessment can help identify inefficiencies and create a plan for improvement. Such assessments, which can now be partially covered by the Inflation Reduction Act until the end of 2025, reveal issues like over-sized HVAC systems, leaky ducts, and inadequate insulation. Improvements can save money on energy bills and reduce environmental impact.
