Denver Energy Audit - Components of the GB3 Energy Audit
The GB3 Energy Audit is a comprehensive analysis of your house that employs the latest in diagnostic technology. When the energy audit is complete, you receive a detailed report with specific, affordable recommendations for improving house performance Whether your Denver area home is new or old, GB3 can help.
GB3 will spend 4-5 hours in-house conducting the audit. We need about 30 minutes of your time at the beginning of the audit, and 30 minutes at the end.
The GB3 Energy Audit includes the following elements:
- Blower Door Testing
The blower door is one of our most powerful tools. It allows us to locate and quantify air infiltration and exfiltration. Reducing air leakage is one of the most effective ways to improve your house’s energy efficiency. - Infra-red Imaging
Using an infra-red camera designed for home testing, we can literally “see” the thermal difference caused by air movement and missing insulation. Our infra-red camera allows us to identify problem areas no other test can determine. - Comprehensive Health, Safety, and Indoor Air Quality Testing
All GB3 Energy Audits include testing to ensure that your home’s mechanical equipment does not pose a health threat to your family. GB3 follows testing protocols developed by the Building Performance Institute (BPI), and always tests for carbon monoxide and natural gas leaks inside the home. - Utility Bill Analysis
We ask our clients to provide us with 12 months of utility information. This data gives us a baseline for your home's current performance and energy consumption In Denver, most households are served by Xcel Energy, and it provides energy consumption summaries. - Mechanical Systems Assessment
An audit includes a thorough review of the home’s mechanical equipment, including heating, cooling and hot water systems. In addition, we perform combustion air zone pressure testing to ensure that backdrafting is not occurring and adversely affecting indoor air quality. - Lights and Appliance Assessment
During the audit we take note of lights and major appliances in order to provide energy savings recommendations. - Duct Testing
Many Denver area homes have leaky ducts that can increase utility bills and prevent cooling and heating systems from delivering the comfort you need. Worse yet, duct leaks can create air quality problems that affect your family’s health. - Insulation Inspection
Our audit includes an inspection and evaluation of the house’s existing insulation. There may be rebates available in Denver for insulation. - Radon Testing
In the Denver area, radon is a major health concern for many homeowners. GB3 conducts an initial radon test for all audit clients. - Homeowner Walk-through
Upon completion of the energy audit, we walk through your home with you and explain the issues we discovered. We make sure to answer all questions and discuss next steps. - GB3 Home Performance Report
After we conduct your energy audit, you will receive your audit report. The report contains a prioritized list of sensible improvements as well as a complete analysis and description of what the audit revealed. We include our prices for completing the recommended improvements.

We had no idea that tackling the ‘low hanging fruit’ could make such a drastic difference. We saved about $100 on energy the month after our audit and repairs, and that really adds up over time!“
