It is a quick reference for the current energy consumptions. It was easy to install and set up and generates lots of comments from house guest. We are working on applications for the data so it can be a better strategy and assesment tool. Jim Hemsell WE have been using the ENVI for about 2-3 months.

The ENVI is definitely the more affordable one of all of them. Did you test it out?

I should clarify that the TRCC has been abolished and is in a 1-year shutdown process. No new home or builder registrations are being accepted, and you can no longer query their website to see if a builder is registered. Oh yes, the TRCC only "registered" builders; it never licensed them. Their only qualification requirements were (1) must be at least 18, (2) authorized to work in Texas, and (3) "trustworthy." Your emphasis on hiring a licensed inspector is right on. Our group will introduce a bill next session to require builders to be licensed too.

I will never say that I've seen it all, but I have seen enough to curl a home owners toes on new costruction. There are too many unsafe conditions to ever cover in this blog, but you would think someone with half a brain was supervising the construction. These days, construction super attendants are accounting majors with little experience. It took 20 years to get the builders to start attaching pulldown attic stairway to the ceiling properly. I know two inspectors that were very seriously hurt when a stairway came loose from the ceiling while they were on it. I have had two come loose from the ceiling - once while I was on it and another one when my client just got off the stairway. Homebuyers know what they want when they pick a house out. Number of bedrooms, location, color and amienities. They do not know the proper placement of a support beam from an improper placement. There is a lot more to construction than most people know. Builders and contractors included. Reuben,
