Walk the energy leaks of an invited congregation campus in downtown Hemet

Hemet's congregation buildings — sanctuaries, fellowship halls, classrooms — are big, old, and run on donations, and most have never had anyone walk them looking for energy waste. Drafty halls and always-on loads quietly eat the budget that could feed people. A careful walk-through with photos gives the congregation a prioritized fix list its own volunteers can work. Standard: ENERGY STAR for Congregations assessment guidance — SDG 7. Proof: Photo log of leak points plus the delivered one-page fix list Method (ENERGY STAR for Congregations assessment guidance — SDG 7.): 1. Walk every room with a host representative and note drafts, gaps, and daylight at doors and windows. 2. Photograph each leak point and always-on equipment. 3. Check and record thermostat settings and filter conditions. 4. Write a one-page prioritized fix list from cheapest to biggest. 5. File the photos with GPS and date and deliver the fix list to the host. Done when: Photo log of leak points plus the delivered one-page fix list

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

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. 1. Confirm the address; arrange a staff escort for mechanical/back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph HVAC, lighting, envelope, and any in-scope systems.
3. 3. Inventory systems: HVAC type + age; lighting fixture count/type/wattage; refrigeration units; envelope condition.
4. 4. Summarize 12 months of utility use (kWh / therms) from the bills.
5. 5. Take the in-scope measurements (light levels, unit temperatures, seal condition).
6. 6. Rank no-cost/low-cost measures, then capital measures, with rough savings logic.
7. 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.
