Energy Testing and Building Performance Reporting in St. Louis, Missouri, and Illinois
Understand How Your Home or Building Actually Performs
Drafts, uneven temperatures, rising energy costs, failed inspections, and rooms that never feel comfortable can have more than one cause. The issue may involve air leakage, missing or inconsistent insulation, ventilation, moisture, duct conditions, or another weak point in the building envelope. Goley Insulation provides blower door testing, infrared scanning, air sealing evaluation, Building Performance reporting, and HERS rating support for homeowners, builders, and property owners across the St. Louis region, Missouri, and Illinois.
Our certified experts combine diagnostic tools with building science and insulation experience to explain what is happening, why it matters, and which next step may make sense, turning test results into clear, practical information rather than leaving customers with data alone.
When Energy Testing May Be the Right Next Step
Energy testing is often useful when the cause of a comfort, efficiency, or code issue is not obvious. It can also help verify completed work or provide builders with measurable information before inspection or closeout.
Testing may help when a project needs to:
-
- Identify hidden air leakage or insulation gaps
- Understand drafts, cold spots, or uneven temperatures
- Prioritize insulation and air sealing improvements
- Verify that completed work is performing as intended
- Support energy-code, program, or project requirements
- Evaluate a new home before closeout or move-in
Testing does not automatically determine that more insulation is needed. The findings may point to air sealing, ventilation, insulation, ducts, moisture conditions, or a combination of issues. The value comes from understanding the building before choosing the response.
Our Building Performance Services
Goley provides testing, evaluation, and reporting services that can be used individually or together. The right combination depends on the building, the concern, and the purpose of the assessment.
Air Sealing Evaluation
Identifies gaps and transitions where uncontrolled air movement may affect comfort, efficiency, or completed air-sealing work.
Blower Door Testing
Measures overall building airtightness, locates significant leakage areas, and helps verify air-sealing improvements or code requirements..
Building Performance Reporting
Documents findings, recommendations, and performance results for homeowners, builders, project planning, verification, and closeout needs.
Infrared Scanning
Uses thermal imaging to reveal temperature patterns that may indicate insulation gaps, thermal bridging, or air leakage.
HERS Ratings for New Homes
Evaluates projected or verified home energy performance to support code compliance, program participation, and buyer communication.
Each service provides a different view of how the home or building performs. Goley helps determine which services fit the situation and interprets the results in context. The goal is to turn measurements and findings into practical, understandable next steps.
Why Goley’s Building Performance Evaluation Matters
Diagnostic equipment can provide measurements, images, and ratings, but those results still need to be interpreted in the context of the building. Goley considers insulation levels, air leakage, ventilation, moisture conditions, windows, ducts, HVAC equipment, construction details, occupancy, and the symptoms or project requirements that led to the testing.
That broader evaluation helps determine whether the findings point to insulation, air sealing, ventilation, corrective work by another trade, further investigation, or no immediate work at all. Testing should narrow the problem and create a clearer path forward, not produce another list of assumptions.
Goley’s certified experts include HERS raters, Certified Green Professionals, BPI-certified estimators, and Green Building Council members. That technical background is supported by practical experience with insulation, air sealing, new construction, retrofit work, and Building Performance, allowing us to connect diagnostic results to realistic building conditions and project requirements.
The goal is not to recommend unnecessary work. It is to help homeowners, builders, and property teams understand what the results mean, meet applicable requirements, and make a better-informed decision.
Move From Guesswork to Clear Answers
Whether you are trying to understand an uncomfortable home, evaluate rising energy use, verify completed work, or meet new construction performance requirements, testing can provide a clearer place to start.
