intermediate work · a storefront on the Big Horn Avenue commercial corridor, downtown Worland, WY 82401
Seal the drafty storefront door and transom, downtown Worland
The energy audit found this Big Horn Avenue storefront's entry door and transom window leaking heat at every edge — sealing the commercial-grade gaps here is a different job than a home's, and it's the cheapest fix the audit found. Standard: ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit + Living Building Challenge Energy petal screening. Proof: before/after photo pairs + compression check + door-operability confirm + GPS Method (ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit + Living Building Challenge Energy petal screening.): 1. Walk the storefront and mark every draft at the entry door, transom, and display-window frame; photograph each before. 2. Clean and prep each gap so commercial-grade weatherstripping and sealant adhere. 3. Apply door-sweep, astragal weatherstripping, and sealant sized to each commercial-scale gap. 4. Verify each seal with a smoke-pencil check and confirm the door still closes/latches correctly under daily foot traffic; photograph after. Done when: before/after photo pairs + compression check + door-operability confirm + GPS
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit
Bring
- tablet/clipboard
- tape measure
- light meter (lighting scope)
- clamp thermometer (refrigeration scope)
- 12-month utility bills
- camera
- ladder + spotter (high fixtures)
Steps
- 1. Confirm the address; arrange a staff escort for mechanical/back-of-house.
- 2. Photograph HVAC, lighting, envelope, and any in-scope systems.
- 3. Inventory systems: HVAC type + age; lighting fixture count/type/wattage; refrigeration units; envelope condition.
- 4. Summarize 12 months of utility use (kWh / therms) from the bills.
- 5. Take the in-scope measurements (light levels, unit temperatures, seal condition).
- 6. Rank no-cost/low-cost measures, then capital measures, with rough savings logic.
- 7. Enter inventory, measurements, utility summary, photos, and the ranked measure list; sign.
If it does not match the plan
- Knob-and-tube, ungrounded or overheated wiring, scorched outlets, or a hot electrical panel -> STOP: do not operate the circuit; route to a licensed electrician and restrict use (NEC / fire hazard).
- Gas odor, or a combustion appliance with absent/blocked venting (backdrafting / CO risk) -> STOP: evacuate, ventilate, call the gas utility. The agent escalates, never relights or adjusts gas.
- Any live-electrical/gas hazard -> document, do not touch, flag for a licensed pro.
- Refrigeration unit out of food-safe range -> flag as both energy and food-safety risk.
- Suspected asbestos/lead in materials -> flag and stop.
What counts as done
- System inventory complete for the in-scope equipment
- 12-month utility use summary recorded
- In-scope measurements recorded with units
- Ranked no-cost/low-cost + capital measure list produced
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
