Bureaucrats Will Carry Out Mandatory Home Inspections Under Climate Bill - Tidy Up Everyone

I am thinking it is almost bug out time!

But look on the bright side.

Obama will have to hire 10,000,000 munchkins to go around inspecting everyone's houses, and another 20,000,000 munchkins to act as bodyguards, so those krazy right wing extremists don't blow their heads off with 12 gauge shotguns when they demand to be let in to their homes make sure they have the right light bulbs in their night lites.

30,000,000 new green jobs created!

found this pretty amusing.

Have already written my 2 Senators informing them that a yes vote on this bill will mean a no vote to their re-election.

Have you done that? If not, it is definitely time to do it TODAY! before they shut down for the holiday weekend. None of them work on Fridays as it is.

i am all for energy audits...home business or otherwise...but not mandatory...

should only be voluntary and if you decide to make the changes recommended by the audit and you get a rebate in doing so or a tax break...then ok

otherwise STAY THE FUCK OFF MY PROPERTY BIATCHES

So I take it this bill is why they GPSd every house in the nation so they know exact where everyone lives.

As Obama stated, this will create a bunch of "green jobs"

The problem is, if someone says there coming in my house, and I say no, then they aint coming in my house. End of story

Vote for pin!! This bill is total bullshit to the 10th degree.
Good find as always Phen

The controversial climate bill that is set to be taken up by the Senate on Monday after its passage in the House will legislate home inspections by government regulators who will demand to audit every aspect of your property under the threat of substantial and repeated fines if their visits are denied or their demands not satisfied.

The climate legislation is written in a manner that automatically assumes that global warming is taking place and that it is attributed to rising CO2 levels, despite the fact that this is a highly contentious question and is being rejected by more and more scientists as time goes by.

As Tony Pacheco writes in his excellent article today, the bill will “audit every aspect of your home and life”.

The bill states every home owner will receive an energy audit. What is a home energy audit? It is an intrusive visit made by the bureaucrats at the Home Energy Team or a similar group. They will examine and report the way you live your life directly to RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) . Light fixtures, socket types, spas, hot tubs, windows, appliances, walls and roofs will all be under review. Energy tests will be conducted throughout your house. At the end of the visit you will receive a report and a rating. The report will focus on the changes you need to make and the rating is called a HERS rating (Home Energy Rating System). RESNET will perform the audits through authorized contractors. RESNET has adopted the Mortgage Industry National Home Energy Rating Standards. The standards set the national procedures for home energy ratings.

According to RESNET, an audit consists of:
Comprehensive Home Energy Audit - A level of the RESNET Home Energy Audit process defined by this standard to include the evaluation, diagnosis and proposed treatment of an existing home. The Comprehensive Home Energy Audit may be based on a Home Performance Assessment (“Comprehensive Home Performance Energy Audit”) or Home Energy Rating (“Comprehensive HERS Audit”), in accordance with the criteria established by this Standard. A homeowner may elect to go through this process with or without a prior Home Energy Survey or Diagnostic Home Energy Survey.

Regulations already in place in some cities for non-residential buildings already carry fines of $2000 a time for preventing bureaucrats from carrying out inspections. These will simply be expanded to cover all premises under the new climate bill.

Under the RESNET standards

for a home audit, the following procedures will become law under the climate bill.

704.1.2.3 The Home Energy Survey Professional shall request copies of utility bills or
written permission to obtain the energy use information from the utility company, and use
them to produce an estimate of generalized end-uses (base, heating, and cooling).
704.1.2.5. Minimum Procedures for an In-Home Energy Survey:
704.1.2.5.1.1 R-values of wall/ceiling/floor insulation
704.1.2.5.1.2 Square footage and approximate age of home
704.1.2.5.1.3 Type of windows: glazing type(s) and frame material(s)
704.1.2.5.1.4 Type, model number, and location of heating/cooling system(s)
704.1.2.5.1.5 Type of ductwork, location and R-value of duct insulation, and any
indications of previous duct sealing
704.1.2.5.1.6 Type of foundation is crawl, basement, or slab
704.1.2.5.1.7 Checklist of common air-leakage sites indicating likely opportunities
for leakage reduction
704.1.2.5.1.8 Estimated age and efficiency of major appliances such as
dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, washing machines and dryers
704.1.2.5.1.9 Number and type of hardwired light fixtures and screw-in bulbs in
portable lamps suitable for energy efficient re-lamping
704.1.2.5.1.10 Visual indications of condensation
704.1.2.5.1.11 Presence and location of exhaust fans, and determination of whether
they are vented outdoors
704.1.2.5.1.12 Number and type of water fixtures (e.g. faucets, showerheads)
704.1.2.5.1.13 Presence and type(s) of combustion equipment; identification of
visually identifiable evidence of flame rollout, blocked chimney, and corroded or
missing vent connector.

As we have warned, the climate bill is nothing more than a feast for bloodthirsty government vampires, who are ready and waiting to suck off the fat hog of the American taxpayer once more.

Ohio Republican Senator George Voinovich says it will take a “miracle” for the Senate to pass the controversial climate bill next week, meaning that the legislation won’t be in place before United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen in December.

The Senator told Bloomberg News that the bill contains “a lot of crap” and that cutting CO2 emissions by 17 per cent before 2020 was an unobtainable goal.

Voinovich’s prediction that the bill will fail is echoed by Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, who said that the “razor-thin vote in the House spells doom in the Senate.”

However, Senator John Kerry claims that the bill will pass the Senate next week but that there won’t be enough sway to approve a global treaty that commits other nations to follow the same regulations.

IMO all this shit will lead to VIOLENCE.

The problem is, if someone says there coming in my house, and I say no, then they aint coming in my house. End of story


AND YOU HAVE A 2000$ fine...for the FIRST OFFENCE.

What kind of teeth does this law have? What happens as a consequence of noncompliance? What if I say "No I don't need a Home Energy Survey?"


FINES. First one : 2000$ + misdemenor.

What happens if a homeowner allows the inspectors access to the house? Is the homeowner forced to make "improvements" even if they don't want or can not afford them?

FINES and can't sell house.

What if they determine that my antique wood stove is "bad".

FORCED TO GET IT OUT.

Do they decide that at the age of 62 I should not be living in Florida without A/C? Do they send a contractor to install it and then send me the bill?

You will have to hire a contractor. And if you do not... FINES.




IMO all this shit will lead to VIOLENCE.

While you're tidying up the house, do my shorts, I'd like to get some sun before it rains.
