Single family energy auditors shy away from multifamily retrofits, yet once they start, they find that most of their job is nailing boards over holes. Most multifamily buildings have huge holes, and sealing them is very obvious, inexpensive, and very cost effective. Understanding stack effect in large buildings will impress you and help you step into multifamily buildings with ease.
Learning Objectives:
By attending this session, attendees will:
Understand that in under an hour, a fairly well experienced auditor can identify holes in a multifamily building large enough to drive a large car or small truck through
Conduct better and faster analysis in multifamily, and will take pictures that will be included in this presentation next year
Demonstrate catastrophic waste in a walk through with a building owner, gaining their trust an respect for this and future multifamily jobs
