Energy audit device

A computer-implemented method performed by a computing device including at least a processor, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the processor, a first environmental reading measured by one or more of a plurality of environmental sensors from a first location in a first room wherein the first environmental reading includes a first temperature measurement;
• receiving, by the processor, a second environmental reading measured by one or more of the plurality of environmental sensors from a second location in the first room wherein the second environmental reading includes a second temperature measurement;
• analyzing, by the processor, the first environmental reading and the second environmental reading to identify one or more thermal energy leaks in the first room;
• in response to the processor determining that the first environmental reading is different from the second environmental reading by a variance over a threshold:
• identifying, by the processor, a type of energy leak as a leak being caused by an insulation issue;
• generating, by the processor, a notification message that identifies the first room and the insulation issue with an actionable step to reduce the insulation issue;
• and
• transmitting, by the processor via a network, the notification message to a remote device associated with the building to cause the actionable step to be performed.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to:

• read, via one or more environmental sensors mounted in a building, a first set of environmental measurements from a first location in a first room in the building;
• read, via the one or more environmental sensors, a second set of environmental measurements from a second location in the first room;
• identify one or more thermal energy leaks in the first room of the building based on comparing the first set of environmental measurements and the second set of environmental measurements, comprising:
• based on the comparison, in response to the first set of environmental measurements being different from the second set of environmental measurements by a variance over a threshold:
• identify, by the processor, a type of energy leak as a leak caused by an insulation issue;
• generate, by the processor, a notification message that identifies the first room and the insulation issue with an actionable step to reduce the insulation issue;
• and
• transmit, by the processor via a network, the notification message to a remote device associated with the building to cause the actionable step to be performed.
