Just in time for AT's Green Month, the DC government is offering free energy audits to single-family homeowners. The DC Department of the Environment’s (DDOE) Home Energy Rating System (HERS) program identifies your home’s energy deficiencies and provides you with cost-effective, energy improvement recommendations...
The HERS Program will send a RESNET-certified auditor to evaluate your home’s existing energy condition, including walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, hot water heating, heating and cooling mechanical systems and other related aspects. Once the home audit is complete, you will be provided with a detailed HERS improvement analysis report with recommendations that range from no-cost behavioral changes to major improvements to reduce energy loss in your home.
District residency and homeownership are the only program eligibility requirements.
To schedule a free HERS audit, interested residents should call Willie Vazquez at (202) 671-3304 or LaKeisha Estep at (202) 673-6733.

As a great American poet once said, "Don't believe the hype." I've tried to schedule an appointment for a home energy audit not once, not twice, but thrice in the last 6 months. Every time, they take my name, address, information, and promise someone will get back to me and then.... r a d i o s i l e n c e......
I think it's a great program, if it was actually there.
