An energy audit: how does it work, and why is it essential?
An energy audit provides a clear roadmap to unlock efficiency savings and reduce waste in your building’s energy use. Here’s a breakdown of each step in the audit process, what we need from our clients, and the value it delivers.
Step 1: Opening Meeting & Data Collection
We begin by clarifying the client’s needs and objectives for the audit. Then, we collect essential information, such as the building’s structure, current systems, energy bills, and usage patterns. Client Input Needed: Recent energy bills, building plans, and records of energy-consuming equipment.
Step 2: Site Survey & Inspection
Our experts conduct an on-site inspection to observe energy consumption firsthand. By examining equipment, lighting, HVAC systems, insulation, and more, we can detect inefficiencies that data alone can’t reveal.
Step 3: Analysis & Benchmarking
Using advanced tools, we analyze energy patterns, benchmark against similar buildings, and model potential improvements. This analysis pinpoints areas where energy is overused or wasted.
Step 4: Recommendations & Action Plan
We provide a detailed report with prioritized recommendations, including projected costs, estimated energy savings, and ROI. Client Input Needed: Feedback on timelines, budget preferences, and any operational constraints.
Step 5: Closing Meeting & Implementation Support
In this final step, we review the audit results with the client, discuss preferred measures for implementation, and offer support. From contractor selection to ongoing savings verification, we ensure each improvement delivers its full value.
