San Francisco, Calif., May 8, 2001 / -- EnergyCheckup, the rapidly expanding energy efficiency division of LandAmerica, a $2 billion real estate services firm, has revolutionized the home energy rating services (HERS) industry by joining GeoPraxis’ advanced IDEA Server™ technology with traditional home inspections. EnergyCheckup’s proprietary system streamlines the typically cumbersome and expensive three- to four-hour energy audit process to an additional 30 minutes to a normal home inspection, while still maintaining accuracy. This allows EnergyCheckup to significantly reduce costs, and more rapidly meet market demand in an era of threatened curtailments and skyrocketing energy costs.
