home energy audit: The Snow has provided a Great Opportunity to evaluate your home!
- 01/27/11 01:13 AM
The Snow has provided a Great Opportunity to evaluate your home! Northern Virginia got socked with 8-12 inches of snow last night. I hope all of you reading this got home safe and sound last night (and without too much of a delay). Right now begins the big dig-out, but it also provides a great opportunity to see how well sealed your home is.

As you clear the driveways and sidewalks in your neighborhood, pay attention to how quickly the snow melts on … (4 comments)

home energy audit: Home Energy Audit: Does it Help or Hurt the Sale?
- 11/12/09 12:58 AM
As a Realtor and EcoBroker, I have been giving a lot of thought to what the role of a Home Energy Audit should be in the process of selling a house. Unlike a Home Inspection or a Radon Inspection, a Home Energy Audit does not affect the safety of living in a property, but improvements resulting from an audit can also have immediate impacts on health and safety as well as comfort and energy savings.

- 04/18/08 06:21 AM

There are some simple things that you can ask about a house that you are considering that can help you to evaluate how ‘green' the house is and what you can do to improve its carbon emission footprint. The government has provided a really great website to help you understand the right questions to ask and to find tools to evaluate your current, and future, house. … (0 comments)
