residential energy performance

Residential energy performance refers to how efficiently a home uses energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances. It measures how well a house retains heat in winter and stays cool in summer, reducing the energy needed to maintain comfortable indoor conditions. Good performance means lower energy bills, less environmental impact, and increased comfort. Factors influencing energy performance include insulation, window quality, HVAC systems, and overall building design. Evaluating this performance helps homeowners identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable living environment.
