Energy Audit Follow Up

Our top four recommendations were:
1. Ventilation ( this is to address our water problem)
2. Attic sealing up leakage and insulation
3. Water heater to gas-tankless
4. Sidewall insulation

We are going to work on 1 and 2...since 3/4 are big ticket items.

Our next steps are:
1. get at least two bids from contractors to do the work outlined in our Energy Audit ( Laura made it easy to get bids. She gave us a list of businesses to contact and drafted a request for bids)
2. Get a hygrometer to measure the humidity in our house. We need a baseline so we can tell if we are making a difference.

The reason we have a lot of water: We have 4 people taking showers, cooking, and breathing in a relatively small space in tightly sealed house. These leads to quite a bit of water in the house which condenses on the windows ( esp. at night) and leads to water soaked wood and mold. We need to get the water out of our house ( stronger fans, run them longer)
