Professional energy audit and assessment

Energy Audits

Our comprehensive energy audits are your first step toward significant energy savings. We conduct detailed assessments tailored to your building's specific characteristics, systems, and operational needs.

ASHRAE Level I - Preliminary Energy Audit

Quick, cost-effective assessment based on utility bills and building data. Identifies major energy consumption patterns and preliminary savings opportunities. Typical duration: 1-2 weeks.

✓ Utility bill analysis and benchmarking
✓ Building walk-through overview
✓ Preliminary improvement recommendations
✓ Investment-grade cost-benefit analysis

ASHRAE Level II - Detailed Energy Audit

In-depth assessment with comprehensive data collection, system analysis, and energy modeling. Provides detailed recommendations with specific equipment specifications and installation details. Typical duration: 2-4 weeks.

✓ On-site equipment inspections and testing
✓ Energy consumption baseline analysis
✓ Detailed system performance evaluation
✓ Engineering-grade cost estimates and ROI projections
✓ Implementation roadmap and prioritization

ASHRAE Level III - Investment-Grade Audit

Most comprehensive assessment designed for financing purposes. Includes detailed engineering analysis, M&V protocols, and guaranteed savings projections suitable for energy services agreements. Typical duration: 4-8 weeks.

✓ Continuous monitoring and data logging
✓ Advanced energy modeling and simulation
✓ Detailed measurement & verification (M&V) plan
✓ Guaranteed savings calculations
✓ Financing-ready documentation
✓ Performance contract development support

All energy audits are offered FREE for qualified facilities

Commissioning & Retrocommissioning

Ensure your building systems operate at peak efficiency through systematic commissioning and recommissioning.

Commissioning (Cx)

Systematic process for new construction ensuring all building systems are designed, installed, and perform according to specifications.

✓ Design review and specification verification
✓ Functional performance testing
✓ System documentation and training
✓ Commissioning plan and schedule

Retrocommissioning (RCx)

Systematic effort to improve performance of existing buildings without major capital improvements. Typical energy savings: 5-20% without retrofit costs.

✓ System performance assessment
✓ Operational efficiency optimization
✓ Control system tuning and adjustment
✓ Staff training and documentation
✓ No/low-cost improvement implementation
