Sensible Energy Audits by Round River Renewables LLC 
WHY DO AN ENERGY AUDIT? An energy audit is like a check-up for a house. An Energy Audit "Practitioner" will examine the heart (furnace), blood (electricity), and body (shell/insulation) and consider the aches and pains to determine what medicine, procedure or diet might help. A Sensible Energy Audit provides homeowners with options for enhancing safety, reducing energy use, saving money and minimizing their carbon footprint.

THE PLANETARY PICTURE? The USA represents 5% of the world's population, consumes 25% of the earth's energy resources, yet only control 8% of that resource. This high energy use and dependence puts us in a difficult position nationally and internationally. Fossil fuel energy (oil, coal & natural gas) represents 95% of household energy consumption. These fossil fuels are limited, damaging and non-renewable. Greenhouse gas and other pollutants are the by-product of burning fossil fuels. <
