We work with Iowa builders and architects who are interested in having their buildings and projects tested by a certified consultant. Contact us if you are interested in having a building or project inspected.

We are highly trained to give your building a Department of Energy-certified Energy Code Compliance Evaluation to be sure the work you’ve done performs at the level for which you have planned and built.

We provide air leakage and infrared tests to ensure that the building meets or exceeds the current codes. We also provide HERS Ratings and Energy Star certifications for those who are interested in meeting the national standards for energy efficiency.

Give us a call at (319) 244-8564 to discuss your project with Iowa’s expert in energy efficiency.

  • Doug de Regnier
     It was recommended that I upgrade my HVAC to GEO by a heating company. I had Rob come in and check my house, he is very professional and knolagable. He ran a complete series of tests, showed me with thermo pictures and real numbers how I could insulate better, upgrade my HVAC without going to the expense of GEO and save more money. Well worth it.

If you are wanting an energy audit done on your home - there is no...

     As the owner of a 100 year old home, I sometimes wonder where I should start in making my home more comfortable.  Rob came in and went through all of my utility bills, measured every window, checked the efficiency of my boiler and hot water heater, did a blower door test and walked through the house with an infrared camera and showed me where I need insulation, where the air infiltration is coming from.  A day later, he gave me a very comprehensive report that showed me the steps I can take...
