1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system from a user, a plurality of user inputs related to an energy audit of a home, the plurality of user inputs including one or more two-dimensional layouts of the home;
converting, by the computer system, the plurality of inputs into input data appropriate for consumption by an energy simulation engine, the converting comprising generating a three-dimensional model of the home based on the one or more two-dimensional layouts; and
executing, by the computer system via the energy simulation engine, a yearly energy simulation of the home based on the input data.

Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating a home energy audit. In one embodiment, a plurality of user inputs can be received that pertain to an energy audit of a home, where the plurality of user inputs user inputs can include one or more two-dimensional layouts of the home. The user inputs can be converted into input data appropriate for consumption by an energy simulation engine, where the converting can comprise generating a three-dimensional model of the home can be generated based on the one or more two-dimensional layouts. A yearly energy simulation of the home can then be executed via the energy simulation engine based on the input data.
