Remotely: A Virtual Energy Audit Solution

With home energy performance awareness on the rise, there is need for a low-cost tool to encourage homeowners to take steps to invest in efficiency improvements. In recent years, virtual audits have appeared as an alternative solution to identify opportunities for efficiency upgrades in ways that reduce time, effort, and in-person contact. The importance of virtual audit capabilities became more evident as COVID-19 made in-home energy audits more difficult during social distancing. As states continue their efforts to revitalize and upgrade the energy performance of homes and stimulate efficiency workforce activity, virtual energy audits provide a flexible, scalable solution to keep efficiency moving forward.
