About the Energy Audit Project
The Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) is developing a
new Energy Audit project for our members. The new energy audits will
allow PCEI members to receive information on the best way to conserve
energy for their home. There are various levels of energy audits and
it will be custom fitted to the needs of the resident.
For example, the basic audit will incorporate a walk thru of the
residence and the recommendations for energy conservation will be
provided.
The second level of audit will be more in depth, involving a
qualitative and quantitative approach. This audit will involve a
walk-thru in combination with a study of the resident’s usage based on
bills in relation to size of family.
Finally, the most intense audit will require the use of advanced
equipment and energy usage software. Improvements will be ranked in
order of payoff. (Such as investments in a new refrigerator or
furnace.)
The energy audits will begin in the late winter/early spring of 2003.
In order to launch this exciting new service, PCEI needs your help. We
are currently trying to raise $4,800 to obtain all the necessary
equipment. Currently we borrow equipment from UI and it is subject to
availability and limited to basic equipment. Having our own equipment
will allow us to provide the new energy audit service as well as lend
the equipment out to our members.
We ask that you please make a donation so that we may offer this
valuable service to you. To make a donation towards the new Energy
Audit Program, send your contribution to PCEI attn: Energy Audit
