Every home an audit; law under the climate bill.

O, holey moley, this one is a real lulu and very, very hard to believe, but I’ll pass it by my astute readers for them to tear apart, word by word, to show this is a fraud, fear-mongering type of hype, right?

Under the RESNET standards for a home audit, the following procedures will become law under the climate bill. (emphasis mine).

704.1.2.3 The Home Energy Survey Professional shall request copies of utility bills or written permission to obtain the energy use information from the utility company, and use them to produce an estimate of generalized end-uses (base, heating, and cooling).
704.1.2.5. Minimum Procedures for an In-Home Energy Survey:
704.1.2.5.1.1 R-values of wall/ceiling/floor insulation
704.1.2.5.1.2 Square footage and approximate age of home
704.1.2.5.1.3 Type of windows: glazing type(s) and frame material(s)
704.1.2.5.1.4 Type, model number, and location of heating/cooling system(s)
704.1.2.5.1.5 Type of ductwork, location and R-value of duct insulation, and any indications of previous duct sealing
704.1.2.5.1.6 Type of foundation is crawl, basement, or slab

dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, washing machines and dryers

704.1.2.5.1.12 Number and type of water fixtures (e.g. faucets, showerheads)
704.1.2.5.1.13 Presence and type(s) of combustion equipment; identification of visually identifiable evidence of flame rollout, blocked chimney, and corroded or missing vent connector.

It really looks like we’re going to have to put the home invaders up for the night because it doesn’t look like they can fulfill this laundry list of requirements in a day, ya know?

Now listen, this is probably just an internet hoax. If it were true, our Friends of the American Way of Life would be all over this piece of shit sure-fire intrusive attempt by home invaders to enter the privacy of our homes, for cripe sake’s!

So, I’m not worried about this, yet.   Are you?
