BOULDER, Colo. (October 21, 2011) – Xcel Energy’s home energy auditors got some new marching orders recently. Effective January 1, Xcel announced that it will require all contractors that perform home energy audits to use the new industry standard software called Recurve.
EcoSmart Homes, a Boulder based company that conducts energy audits and home performance upgrades, has been designated as a ‘SuperUser’ of the Recurve software and is poised to grow significantly. They are one of the co-developers of Recurve and helped introduce the software to Xcel Energy in 2008. Ecosmart has been using the software exclusively for home energy audits throughout Colorado for over two years and have a proven track record.
Recurve is software used by home energy auditors to calculate the current energy needs and comfort levels of your home. Once the data is entered, it creates a document that visually shows the results of the audit and recommended solutions for homeowners – making solutions ready to be implemented by the EcoSmart Homes team. Recurve makes possible the one-stop solution for comfort, health, and energy improvements.
Recurve’s Adam Winter said “we [Recurve and Xcel] want to promote EcoSmart as the Recurve ‘SuperUser’ in Colorado – the leader everyone should look to.”
Eric Doub, co-founder of EcoSmart Homes, is Boulder-born and raised and leveraging 30 years of home energy leadership to take home performance upgrades to scale. “In addition to saving money on utility bills, our customers are pleased to be helping the environment and have someone to manage the process for them,” explains Doub.
Ecosmart is one of the original home performance companies in Boulder and a Colorado leader in providing home comfort, health and energy benefits. They are well positioned to capture significant market share of the $20B Colorado home performance market and are planning to hire additional staff to meet the demand.
