Build a Better Home Energy Retrofit Plan

Start with a walkthrough of the home to collect facts, photos and notes or upload an existing energy audit. Then let the Green Home Predictor help you take it from there.

What should happen first?

Air sealing, insulation, moisture, ventilation, and safety before a new heat pump.

What can wait?

Phase upgrades by budget, equipment life, and contractor availability.

What must be verified?

Electrical panel, ducts, air leakage, moisture, and envelope conditions.

Option 1: Starting Fresh

Walk the Home Yourself

No professional assessment yet? Gather basic details about your insulation, draftiness, and equipment to calculate a preliminary GHP Score.

  • Identify safety, air sealing, and insulation priorities
  • Verify readiness before purchasing heat pumps
  • Prepare questions before hiring a paid auditor

Option 2: Have an Audit

Turn Your Audit into a Plan

Already have an official report? Convert static energy audit data into a sequenced, phased scope of work that contractors can price.

  • Auto-fill data from Home Energy Score (HEScore) PDFs
  • Phase improvements by budget, incentives, and rebates
  • Produce a clear contractor workscope to request quotes
Upload Home Energy Audit (PDF) →

Works best with Home Energy Score reports. Other formats may need more manual entry.
