The following tables present the technology categories which make up the CarbonStop.org single family home assessment technologies of focus. Each home will be audited for the potential use of cost-effective carbon reduction strategies within each of the following categories. The CarbonStop.org Net-Zero Carbon Footprint Audit, will identify a set of specific cost-effective[1] technologies within each category that the homeowner can take to reduce or eliminate their carbon footprint.
