Older homes in Phoenix were built by craftsmen using the technology of the day to create the best home they knew how to build. The earliest homes in Phoenix were built to rely on breezes and sleeping porches to make them livable in summer. Homes built in the forties, fifties and sixties were built to rely on evaporative cooling to make the summers bearable. As we moved into the age of air conditioning Phoenix residents felt they could truly control their environment. Now begins the age of major utility bills.

Many of our older homes suffer from systems based on outdated technology causing ever increasing energy bills. We live in homes that were built to leak air or have ductwork based on having the windows open to exhaust air cooled by evaporative cooled air. Many homeowners have tried to overcome these obstacles by installing oversized AC units creating ever higher energy bills.

The vast majority of homes that have been retrofitted for air conditioning are wasting major amounts of energy and money due to lack of a holistic approach to viewing the home as a system rather than just so many parts joined together.

New homes benefit from technology developed after the first energy crisis in the seventies. Technology is continuously being developed to better test homes to discover how to build more efficient structures to conserve energy. This technology is currently being used to test and identify how to improve existing older homes in order to make them operate more efficiently. The science of energy auditing is quickly going mainstream amongst remodelers that are concerned about their client's home performance.

Realizing that there was more to remodeling than wood framework and plaster walls, Steve Shinn of Homework Remodels has invested time in building science education to discover how to use today’s technology to improve the older homes of metro Phoenix.

Steve was the first remodeler in Phoenix to become certified by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry as a Certified Green Remodeler. He completed the National Green Building Council’s training on energy efficient remodeling techniques at the International Green Building Expo in 2009. Both of these training programs demonstrated the value in energy performance testing as a way to discover how to modify older homes to make them more energy efficient for the smallest financial investment for the homeowner.

In an effort to make building science more practical to his clients Steve completed the training to become certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI) as a building performance analyst. BPI sets the industry standard for testing how buildings perform in relation to energy use.

Steve and his staff are now using blower door and thermal imaging technology to help their clients improve their homes energy performance and save money on their energy bills. As BPI energy analyst they are also taking part in the APS Energy Star Program. APS is subsidizing the costs of your energy audit and offering great rebates on energy saving home improvements.
