Energy Conservation

Energy Conservation Inc. (E.C.I.) is a Richmond, VA company created in 1990 by Gary Treaster with the mission to help consumers find "Building Science" solutions to problems such as high energy costs, moisture issues and poor indoor air quality. The "House As A System" approach to defining problems, and ultimately the proper solution, is based on implementing the education learned through training including being Virginia Power's 1st independent Energy Auditor, enhanced training resulting in a Masters of Building Science from Advanced Energy Corporation, advanced certifications as a Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant and a Certified Mold Remediation Supervisor through the Indoor Air Quality Association enables ECI to understand the systems approach to buildings and incorporate repair strategies that provide lasting results. Energy Conservation Inc. formed an alliance with Richmond Asthma & Allergy Specialists in 2005. Richmond Ashtma and Allergy Specialists refers patients that are experiencing problems. ECI goes into their homes to perform air testing and visual inspections inside of the house, crawl space, attic and HVAC system. The results of the air testing and visual inspections are shared with the client and doctor to see if anything in the home is creating a problem for the patient. If there is something that concerns the doctor then we can discuss with the homeowner what their options are and how we may assist them. If we are unable to help them with a particular issue we will refer them to someone that we feel comfortable with.
