This web site is an example of Climate-Gate and Fraud.  It explains why Al Gore's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Savings are impossible to measure accurately, and why this voodoo science is misleading and is costing you money. 

The facts are based from a home built in 2007 as Energy-efficient, and compliant with a program run by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Residential Energy Services Network. This home was inspected and rated by FOUR different experts.  They all came up with FOUR different ratings and opinions as to the Energy Efficiency of the same home!!!

If you are a energy inspector, you need to read this website because your peers are cheating. If you are a home builder, you should be outraged by unfair competition. If you are a building owner planning to build soon, please fill out the contact page on this website if you desire to save money.  If you have your own story of fraud by a home builder, general contractor or energy inspector please let us know. 

The information on this site is based upon a true real-life story of buying a new home with a builder's promise of 40% more energy efficiency. The problem was the inspector, a member of Residential Energy Services Network, was paid by the builder and not the home owner.  This inherent conflict of interest is wrong.  

The homeowner hired their own inspector after a very large natural gas bill.  The results were totally different than the builder's inspector. This second inspector was also a member of the Residential Energy Services Network.  After one year of utility bills, the second  inspector is accurate. The builder's inspector is not.  The difference is over $1,200 dollars out of pocket every year for the life of the home!  Strange that two members of the same non-profit corporation came up with dramatically different results!

But this pattern continued.  Two more energy inspectors again from Residential Energy Services Network made inspections/reports and again came up with different ratings and opinions as to the Energy Efficiency of the same home. 

Because of possible trademark/copyright issues we can not really come out and say the name of the national GREEN Build program that the home builder is PARTNERED with, but we can give you a clue. If you imagine what you see in the sky at night on a moonlit night; and the name is the same as a lot of bodies of bright lights in the sky, you just figured it out. Congrats! Call it Energy SKY in lieu of its' real name. 

It is run by the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States Department of Energy.  The government would like to you believe that this simple trademark is totally reliable. The October 2008 issue of Consumer Report's magazine ran an article about refrigerator's not being inspected properly. Now there is substantial evidence that homes may not be inspected properly. If you believe in sustainability and making GREEN Building mean something, then support us in shedding light on this problem.    

We also need to coin a term for Residential Energy Services Network since they also have a trademark, and we are already tired of typing out their long corporate name. Let's call them "NSER."  It is the same letters just spelled backwards.  

So Energy SKY and NSER, run a program that many home builders participate in throughout the country.  They like to call it a "third party inspection" process.  There are some good inspectors who are members of NSER, we know because one of them had the GUTS to tell the truth about a home.  That the home did not comply with Energy SKY requirements. That the home was not as energy efficient as the home builder claimed. NSER's other member (the home builder's inspector) provided the homeowner a Certificate that said the home did meet Energy SKY requirements.   

Energy Fraud was committed. Continue reading and you decide when GREEN is FRAUD!!
