Wasatch Energy Engineering

Buildings have a profound impact on our natural environment, economy, health, and productivity.

In the United States alone, buildings account for:
•    70% of electricity consumption,
•    39% of energy use,
•    39% of all carbon dioxide emissions,
•    40% of raw materials use,
•    30% of waste output (136 million tons annually), and
•    12% of potable water consumption.

Wasatch Energy Engineering can help reduce these impacts by working with you to make your home or building more sustainable, more energy efficient, more healthy, more durable, and a better investment.

We work with home owners and businesses, architects, builders, and specialty contractors to create buildings that use fewer resources, create a smaller carbon footprint, and in general are greener. We provide energy audits and consulting for existing buildings, and work with your architect and builder as a consultant to provide third-party verification of building performance.

If you wish to improve the energy efficiency of your existing home or business we can perform a comprehensive energy audit and provide consulting services to help you achieve your goals.

If you are building a new home and are interested in ENERGY STAR for Homes, NAHB National Green Building Certification, or LEED for Homes certification, we can assist you.

We can also assist you if your business is interested in achieving ENERGY STAR for Business or a LEED commercial certification.
