While performing energy audits there are useful apps you can use to save time and get more accurate data collections. A simple search in the business section of your app store will likely reveal new apps to try in the field. Room Scan by Locometric is free and simple to use. It lets you draw floor plans by placing your phone along the walls within the home. FLIR has a thermal camera adaptor that turns your phone into an IR camera. It’s a fraction of the cost of a normal IR camera and does the trick for our energy audits. Wrightsoft has a Manual J app where you can do a quick load calc on any home and is accepted by government weatherization programs. Periscope is an app that lets your customer see what you are seeing through your phone, which can be perfect for those dirty attics or crawl spaces where you can walk a customer through what you are finding without them being there.
