As a conservation services provider, independent Quality Assurance and Quality Control Inspector and third-party verifier, Pure Energy serves utilities, governmental agencies and educational institutions by providing consistently excellent services including QA and QC inspections of weatherization contractor work and implementer visits; contractor training and workshops; consumer energy conservation education; energy audits; installation of some energy saving measures. Our competitive advantage is that we have experience with all angles of the weatherization business: energy consumer, utility management, energy auditor, final inspector, installer, field evaluator, procedure writing. We are best because we have an unusual and excellent balance of technical and communication skills. We have “been there, done that”.

Our goals include:

To support utility and governmental representatives by teaching others how to reduce energy use.

Energy Conservation Audits: We run a variety of diagnostics in homes to determine where best to focus energy conservation efforts. These tools include: blower doors, thermal imagers, Watt meters, Solar Pathfinders, non-contact thermometers, combustion analyzers, and other tools. We can also install some measures such as compact fluorescent light bulbs. We test refrigerators, freezers, room air conditioners and dehumidifiers to find the inefficient ones and recommend energy efficient appliances to replace these inefficient appliances.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Inspections: Our inspections involve checking contractor work to ensure that the work: will not diminish the integrity of the structure; will last for many years; is appropriate for the resident; will perform as designed; is safe; will save energy; and provides the utility or governmental entity with cost-effective results. We also make sure the contractor didn’t miss any cost effective opportunities that meet program goals. Our home visits typically include inspecting all parts of the structure, including the hard-to-reach areas.

Customer Energy Education: We interview utility customers to determine energy use patterns. We determine if the energy use is higher than average. If it is, we work with the consumer to discover if the high use may be due to energy waste in the home; and/or structural problems; and/or appliance inefficiencies. Using utility bills as a guide, we use a system to help us focus our time with the customer. We discuss energy use habits and advise customers as to how their behaviors and appliances affect their utility bills. We then provide suggestions for alternate behaviors and explain the resulting savings. We also do utility rate analysis and counseling to determine which rate structure is best for the customer.

Conservation Program Development and Management: We help governmental entities and utility program managers design program procedures and develop manuals for measure and installation specifications.

Contractor Technical Training: Due to the sheer number of years we have been involved with residential energy conservation programs, we are often asked to provide skills training to other energy conservation contractors.  We train in the field and in the classroom. We also teach at national energy conservation conferences.
