Energy Reporting 101
This may be the first time you are hearing about energy reporting! It is new territory for our region and can be confusing to understand. In its simplest form, energy reporting seeks to understand the full energy usage of a structure by analyzing many building components (windows, doors, skylights, insulation, ducts, heating and cooling, etc.)
The short report below introduces you to the basics of local energy reporting requirements and provides some examples of what is included in these mandatory reports.
The Department of Energy has minimum efficiency criteria, in the form of energy codes, that energy load reports are compared against. If a build does not meet this criteria, it does not pass.
This presents contractors with two challenges in the permitting process:
They must find a way to obtain an energy report.
The report must pass efficiency standards in order to get permits.
Our approach to reporting takes both of these challenges into account.
What does this mean for contractors?

Embracing cutting-edge technology is at the core of our approach. By leveraging the latest advancements in energy reporting tools, we provide you with easy reporting solutions. Report results are also reviewed and checked by multiple individuals or teams, reducing potential errors or discrepancies.
Built-In Editing Options
We believe in providing transparent and comprehensive pricing to meet your unique needs. Unlike our competitors, our pricing model includes flexibility for editing. If we complete your report and you are not in compliance with energy standards, we will allow you to make adjustments for one revision at no cost! We also don’t believe that you should buy another full report if you need more edits. Additional edits can be purchased a la carte, saving you time and money!
