ABSTRACT
One of the first tools an auditor needs to become familiar with is the audit field form. Typically, each weatherization program or independent auditor has a form that auditors use to work their way through the audit process. There are also some helpful specialized tools that can be used including: a rechargeable cordless drill motor with an assortment of drivers, a hammer, a long reach flat blade screwdriver, a reamer to enlarge any smoke pipe hole when testing heating appliances’ efficiency, pry bars and nail pullers, “nippers” with the face ground flat to be used to pull nails from cement board siding, drill index, both long reach and locking pliers, and a square and star bit driver for mobile home siding. A combustion analyzer can help determine the safety and efficiency of the combustion process in an appliance. The combustion analyzer can measure the oxygen and carbon dioxide content along with the flue gas temperature.
