Don’t We All Want To Leave Our Homes In A Greener Place?

Local-First Home Energy Audit – Workflow

Thinking of selling your home? We want to help you make it greener, healthier, and more valuable first.

Nothing stored in the cloud by default. Your data and photos stay on your device.

Most homeowners don’t have the time, money, or appetite for a major retrofit while living in their house. That’s where timing, financing, and new technology come together to change the game — at the time of sale, when money changes hands and their motivation is high.

Our system could make a deep retrofit of almost any home practical, affordable, and more sellable.

It's called the Green Legacy Fund and in Minnesota for example, we could ensure that at least 40% of benefits flow to environmental justice communities, and help us achieve Minnesota’s carbon-reduction targets at the same time. With pilot support, it could become a model for healthier homes, fair access, and a smarter, climate driven housing market.

The secret? Keep the power in the homeowner's hands.

1) Document Your Home

Take photos and enter data by category (attic, walls, windows, HVAC, basement, bills). You build the record — your home, your way.

2) Get Your AI Audit

AI reviews your inputs, highlights issues, and estimates savings & carbon cuts. Independent guidance before you call a contractor.

3) Save Locally

All inputs and results are saved as one project bundle on your device (e.g., .ghc) plus a PDF report. Your data stays with you — not in the cloud.

4) Take Action on Your Terms

Use your report to shop bids, claim rebates, or apply for financing (e.g., Green Legacy Fund). You choose the timing, contractors, and upgrades.
