Energy Audits

Businesses and commercial properties can consume a lot of energy, which costs a lot of money.  Very often, substantial savings can be attained by reducing the amount of energy businesses consume by stopping energy waste and becoming more efficient.  We utilize best practices, the most advanced techniques and latest information to give you the most cost effective options available.  Energy audits almost always pay for themselves in savings; sometimes many times over and the benefits are long lasting.

All of our commercial energy audits are conducted in accordance with ASHRAE’s Procedures For Commercial Building Energy Audits, and we offer different levels of engineering analysis as needed.

Our Level 1 Energy Audits consist of all of the following:

Assessment of the building’s energy cost and efficiency by analyzing energy bills, compiled in a preliminary energy-use analysis (benchmarking)

On-site survey of the building to investigate the building envelope, HVAC systems and controls, lighting, compressed air and steam systems, and electric motors and drives

Infrared thermographic scan of the building’s envelope and HVAC systems which can reveal hidden problems not visible with the naked eye such as missing insulation, leaks in air ducts and air infiltration or exfiltration problems

Identification of low-cost/no-cost measures for improving energy efficiency

Development of potential capital improvements that merit further consideration.

We also offer more detailed levels of analysis including:

Level 2 Energy Audit- The second level of engineering analysis involves a more detailed building survey, including energy consumption and peak demand analysis. A breakdown of energy end uses within the building is developed. A Level 2 energy analysis will identify and provide the savings and cost analyses of all practical energy efficiency measures that meet the owner’s/operator’s constraints and economic criteria, along with proposed changes to operation and maintenance procedures. It may also provide a listing of potential capital-intensive improvements that require more thorough data collection and engineering analysis as well as an assessment of potential costs and savings. This level of analysis will provide adequate information
for the owner/operator to act upon recommendations for most buildings and for most measures.

Level 3 Energy Audit- The third level of engineering analysis focuses on potential capital-intensive projects identified during a Level 2 analysis. It requires more detailed field data gathering as well as more rigorous engineering and economic analyses. It provides detailed project cost and savings calculations with a high level of confidence sufficient for major capital investment decisions.
