As a home energy auditor, you use a building assessment to identify the potential for energy savings in a residence. Your responsibilities include using visual inspection, data analysis, and other tools to look for signs of energy waste, leaks, and safety issues. Your duties take you around the entire building, including internal and external features. You then provide recommendations to remedy any of the problems that you uncover, starting with the most pressing. You need to meet the minimum certification qualifications to enter the field, and you benefit from skills and knowledge related to construction, energy conservation, and electronics.
