Sample Home Energy Score Report

Every study participant receives an official U.S. Department of Energy Home Energy Score assessment, a standardized rating of the home’s physical energy characteristics, with prioritized, contractor-ready upgrade recommendations. This is a separate deliverable from the Utility Analysis, which is built from your metered PG&E data.

ⓘThis is your “as-is” Home Energy Score, calculated by the energy analysis engine based on the data your assessor collected during the inspection. ⓘThe hypothetical score if you make improvements to the building “shell”, windows and insulation, to help prevent heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. ⓘThis is the score when you implement full electrification, including a heat pump water heater and furnace, and eliminating gas appliances. ⓘThis is the best guess of what you are currently paying to PG&E. ⓘThis is what you would pay to PG&E after you complete the recommended shell improvement. ⓘThis is what you would pay when you complete the full electrification. You may see it is even more expensive than the current one, but this is when you may benefit from installing battery storage or solar PV panels.

ⓘDetails and priorities for weatherization upgrades. Attic insulation, if not enough, is always on top because heat tends to escape from the top of the house. ⓘDetails and priorities for mechanical upgrades towards electrification. Replace mechanicals when the old one reaches the end of its life. ⓘAdditional comments by the assessor, considering the unique circumstances of each individual house.
