Have you noticed seasonal comfort issues (hot/cold spots, drafts, difficulty maintaining temperature)?
Have you previously conducted a professional energy audit or thermal imaging assessment?
Please complete the table below for every room with windows or exterior doors. Each row represents one opening. For 'Opening Type', specify window position or door type. For 'Screen Status' and 'Air Draft Presence', select the option that best describes current condition. This data forms the foundation of your comfort optimization strategy.
Window and Door Opening Inventory
Room Name | Opening Type | Screen Status | Air Draft Presence | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Living Room | Left Window | Clean & Intact | Minor Draft | |
Living Room | Right Window | Dusty/Needs Wash | Sealed Tight | |
Master Bedroom | Sliding Door | Torn/Holes | Noticeable Breeze | |
Are there additional openings not captured in the table above (e.g., skylights, basement windows, attic vents)?
This section gathers detailed information about window conditions that affect thermal performance and seasonal comfort. Please assess each critical component carefully.

Overall Window Condition Rating (1=Poor, 5=Excellent)
Do you observe condensation between window panes?
Are there operational issues with any windows (sticking, won't lock, broken hardware, won't stay open)?
Do windows have functional locks and latches that create tight seals when closed?
Is there visible deterioration of window frames (rot, cracks, warping, paint peeling)?
Upload photos of window issues (condensation, frame damage, operational problems, draft sources). Multiple files allowed.
Exterior doors are critical thermal boundaries. Assess each door's condition, focusing on weatherstripping, thresholds, and overall integrity.

Approximate Age of Primary Exterior Doors (in years)
Overall Door Condition Rating (1=Poor, 5=Excellent)
Is weatherstripping intact and creating a proper seal around the entire door frame?
Is the threshold (door sill) in good condition and properly sealed?
Do doors have operational issues (sticking, sagging, difficult to latch, gaps when closed)?
Is there visible light coming through gaps around doors when closed and exterior lights are on?
Upload photos of door issues (weatherstripping gaps, threshold damage, frame deterioration, operational problems).
Understanding how window and door integrity affects your seasonal comfort helps prioritize improvements. Rate your experience and identify patterns.

Do you use window coverings (curtains, blinds, cellular shades) to improve insulation?
Do you use draft stoppers or door sweeps to block air leaks?
Have you noticed ice dam formation on the roof in winter that may be related to heat loss through openings?
Do certain rooms require significantly different thermostat settings to maintain comfort?
Have you measured temperature variations between rooms using a thermometer?
