Every EnerGuide home energy evaluation performed by Consider It Energy (also known as a home energy audit or assessment) includes blower door testing, along with various other specialized diagnostic tools. We examine key components of your home’s structure and systems to identify where energy is being lost and opportunities to improve your home's overall performance and comfort. Our comprehensive evaluations will provide information to help guide decision-making on retrofit strategies supporting both existing homes and new construction projects.
Accurate heating and cooling start with the right data. Using F280 heat load calculations, we determine the precise heating and cooling requirements for your home or building. This ensures that any equipment you install is properly sized, efficient, and cost-effective, avoiding oversized systems, wasted energy, and uneven comfort. Our approach combines insights from EnerGuide evaluations, building envelope performance and local climate considerations to deliver reliable, actionable results. Whether planning a retrofit or a new build, F280 calculations provide the foundation for optimized comfort, energy savings, and long-term performance.
When starting the building/site design process for a new home, Registered Energy Advisors are required to ensure the proposed building meets the current Energy Step Code requirements in BC. This energy modelling stage is typically followed by on-site verification and testing at a mid-point during construction. The final step upon completion of the project is an As-Built Step Code compliance checklist completed by a Registered Energy Advisor. These steps confirm that the newly constructed home performs as intended and meets all targets for airtightness, insulation effectiveness, and overall energy demand. Only once the Step Code targets are met will local municipalities issue occupancy permits.
