Beware of Bad Air in New Construction Homes
April 5, 2021
As construction and energy experts, we perform the most rigorous inspections in the industry.
Energy audits are a valuable and effective tool used to rate a building’s energy efficiency. Different organizations offer their own rating systems, for example: BPI’s Home Performance Test, the DOE’s Home Energy Score, and RESNet’s HERS index. Having an energy audit done is the first step on the path toward a more comfortable, affordable, durable, and healthy home. Insight Property Services is the leading Building Consultant in the Chicagoland area, providing home performance/energy audits for both homeowners & home service professionals.
Using a variety of high-tech, state-of-the-art tools, we can identify the key areas where your home is wasting energy and recommend the most cost-effective improvements for maximizing comfort, minimizing energy bills, optimizing indoor air quality, and improving health, safety, and durability.

Every Home Performance / Energy Audit also includes a free personalized Home Binder account upon receiving the Inspection Report.

A home performance test is most effective before doing any renovations on an existing property. It provides a homeowner with clear insight as to where the opportunities for improvement in safety, comfort, durability, and energy-efficiency lie. That being said, it can be an important selling point for buyers who are looking for a home that will meet future building standards. Without this testing, your home can be damaged accidentally by occupant behavior, improper ventilation, and renovations that don’t account for the building as a system. Understanding the complex interaction between systems in a home is what distinguishes Insight from our competition.
If you need an insightful evaluation of your home, contact our building professionals for quality services. Insight is a trusted source for home inspection and BPI-based home performance testing in Illinois. We have licensed home inspectors, BPI-certified professionals, and RESNet-certified HERS raters.

A Home Energy Score is an energy model created using the Department of Energy’s very own methods for rating a building enclosure. The 1-10 scale is designed to be simple and readable, a ‘1’ being a more antiquated home in need of new appliances and a ‘10’ being an energy efficient enclosure capable of powering itself with renewable sources. How does your home compare to the new standard of energy efficiency?
Awareness: Illustrates a home’s energy performance and identifies areas for improvement, allowing them to take proactive steps to reduce energy waste and save money on utility bills.
Financial Savings: By implementing the recommended energy improvements, homeowners can potentially reduce their energy consumption and lower their utility bills over time.
Comfort and Indoor Air Quality: Energy efficiency improvements often contribute to increased comfort levels within the home and improved indoor air quality.
Environmental Impact: By reducing energy waste and decreasing reliance on fossil fuels, homeowners with higher Home Energy Scores can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
