The Department of Energy's Home Energy Scoring Tool allows qualified assessors to:

• Generate clear, credible home energy assessments at a reasonable cost;
• Recommend customized upgrades and other cost saving tips; and,
• Help consumers compare the energy use of different homes.

The Home Energy Scoring Tool is quick and easy to use. Qualified assessors can gather the information needed to assess a home in one short site visit. This low-cost, high value assessment can be provided as a stand-alone service or as an add-on to a home inspection or comprehensive energy assessment.
