New. I should have mentioned that an energy audit often includes analysis of past utility bills and estimates of future ones. And the possible savings from any alternative systems. And perhaps an indication of the cost of any alternative systems (such as solar, or extra insulation, window awnings etc.). By the way, all conservation methods should always be done before trying alternative energy systems, as this is the most effective strategy cost-wise.

Energy Auditing Training Video
Links
Refer to some websites and service providers that deal with energy audits:
http://rentafluke.com/ - A site that allows homeowners to rent Fluke Ti-32 for a great deal less than many professional equipment rental sites, even though the TI-32 is one of the higest end imagers out there today. Also offers basic training in thermography. Oh, I forgot to mention, RENTaFLUKE will provide free camera usage and training to bonofide non-profit organizations and truly needy homeowners. Although it is not a nonprofit group itself, it does do a ton of service at no cost for nonprofits. As such, it should merit inclusion.
http://energyauditinstitute.com/home-energy-audit-training.html - a good program for learning home energy audits.
http://actioneco.org/?gclid=CLbrvuXLvKUCFQjd4Aod1XzGYA - an eco forum with great links to other resources.
http://assets.fluke.com/video-TI/TI/what_is_therm.html - a good video explaining thermography.
http://assets.fluke.com/cw/3449261-Ti-Chip-video.html - a good video explaining the basics of infrared inspection. CincyBuyers (talk) 20:31, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
I have several questions. First, I am a Nachi-Certified Infrared Inspector, and I have performed more than 150 free energy audits for homeowners of modest means in Greater Cincinnati. To help people get an idea of what's involved, I send them to wikipedia's page on Energy Audits.
I added Delta T to describe temperature differential, since it is a term people will run into in the course of the reports my colleagues and I generate for them after an audit. As suck, I believe it was not an out of place reference. Indeed, Delta T is one of the central terms to any discussion of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Whether you all understand it or not, energy audits are essentially focused entirely on issues connected to the 2nd Law. Is there a chance that others could weigh in here?
If you all agree with me insertion, please have someone change it back.

- I reinserted the Delta T notation back into the page. Thanks for explaining.--E8 (talk) 19:47, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Do it yourself energy audits for home
The article could use a bit more coverage on the low end - should mention the existence of various do it yourself energy audit type tools, e.g. provide information to local utility to produce a report with estimates of usage by device/area (since they have usage information already).

UA delta-T method
The link to "UA delta-T method" is dead, and all Google results for that term seem to be a copy of this article - or the text of this article is copied from them, since some of them (e.g. [2]) claim copyright. I could not find a definition, but (from [3]) it appears what is meant is simply the heat transfer equation, which is not an auditing method. Unfortunately, the editor who added that text, User:Ckehrlich, has not contributed for three years, but I left a message on his talk page. For now, I am therefore removing that sentence. -- Sebastian 08:02, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
