A printable DIY home energy audit checklist: air leaks room by room, attic, walls, basement and crawl space, ducts and water heating, with a priority fix list. Pairs with our energy savings calculator.
Start with the energy audit checklist to find the leaks worth sealing first. Look up your target on the climate zone chart, then plan the job on the attic insulation worksheet. The R-value chart compares materials inch for inch when you are choosing what to buy.
Want the arithmetic done for you? The attic insulation calculator and R-value calculator use the same data, and every result can be printed. You are welcome to share these sheets; please link to this page rather than re-hosting the files.
Planning figures only. Your local energy code sets the required R-values, and the chart printed on each bag or roll sets its coverage. Wear a mask, goggles and gloves in the attic.
