savings. * Blower door and duct leakage testing is included with this service.

Step 2 DETAILED ANALYSIS
Specialized software produces a Report which shows savings and costs for energy efficiency
improvements and provides tips on ways to save more energy and reduce your energy bills.

Step 3 IMPLEMENTATION
The Report provides access to a database of contractors, a direct line to an energy expert, and access to
other energy products and services.

Step 4 FINANCING
The report lists the improvements that, when financed, will save more than they cost. It includes information
on the Streamlined (k) Limited Repair Program by which homebuyers and homeowners can finance up to
an additional $35,000 into their mortgage for energy-efficiency improvements identified by their home
inspector.

Energy Issues and You
With ever-rising energy prices, home owners are trying to find ways to make their homes more energy
efficient. Some options might include:

Having an energy audit or inspection of their home to help pinpoint energy dollars that could be saved
Installing energy efficient appliances - like Energy Star rated appliances
Upgrading to energy efficient windows or installing window treatments (like solar film or shades)
Adding solar energy technology to their homes
Lowering/raising thermostat temperatures to use less energy
Installing more energy efficient heating or cooling systems
Switching to alternative fuel sources or green power sources
Finding help from their utilities to pay their bills

A Home Energy Tune-uP® or a HERS Rating?
Rating the energy efficiency of homes has been used primarily by home builders who want to market their
new homes as being energy efficient. This rating system has not been readily adopted by owners of existing
homes and their REALTORS® because older homes are less energy efficient than new ones, and therefore
get lower grades. The majority of older homes would score somewhere between 40 and 70, depending on
their age, whereas a home built today should score at least 80. If the home scores 86 or higher, it is
considered an Energy Star rated home.

Tune-uP, developed by CMC Energy Services , was designed specifically for owners of older homes who
want to upgrade the energy efficiency of their homes, rather than grade them. With a more detailed Report,
quick access to low-cost financing, a low price tag, and more inspectors to do the energy audits, Tune-uP is
an excellent choice for owners or buyers of older homes, whereas rating remains the choice for builders of
new homes.
