Our energy audits follow the rigorous guidelines of ASHRAE 211-2018, ensuring that your building operates at maximum efficiency while minimizing costs. We provide three levels of audits tailored to your needs:
Level 1: Walk-Through Analysis
High-level overview of energy performance and potential savings.
Level 2: Energy Survey and Analysis
Detailed evaluation with actionable recommendations.
Level 3: Detailed Analysis of Capital-Intensive Modifications
Comprehensive, data-driven assessments for major upgrades.
Each level offers increasing depth and precision, empowering you to make informed decisions.
Creating a customized energy audit plan is the first step. This involves:
Understanding Your Goals: Aligning the audit with your financial and operational priorities.
Establishing Scope: Defining which systems and areas will be evaluated.
Engaging Stakeholders: Involving facility managers and operators to ensure seamless execution.
We analyze your building’s historical energy data to:
Identify usage patterns and peak demands.
Benchmark performance against similar facilities.
Highlight potential inefficiencies.
Our team conducts detailed on-site inspections and collects key performance data, including:
Utility bills and metering data.
Equipment specifications and operating schedules.
Occupant behavior and load profiles.
We evaluate the financial viability of proposed energy measures by:
Calculating simple payback periods.
Performing Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) analyses.
Prioritizing projects based on cost-effectiveness.
Lighting Systems
Evaluate current lighting for efficiency and adequacy.
Recommend upgrades to LED and smart controls.
HVAC Systems
Assess heating, ventilation, and cooling equipment.
Identify opportunities for optimization and retrofits.
Domestic Hot Water Systems
Analyze water heating systems for energy-saving opportunities.
Explore tankless and heat pump options.
Motors, Drives, and Compressed Air Systems
Review motor efficiency and drive operations.
Inspect compressed air systems for leaks and efficiency improvements.
Building Envelope
Assess insulation, windows, and roofing for heat loss or gain.
Recommend sealing and material upgrades to improve thermal performance.
BAS, PAS, and EMCS (Building Automation and Controls)
Evaluate current building automation systems (BAS), process automation systems (PAS), and energy management control systems (EMCS).
Recommend system integration or upgrades for real-time monitoring and energy optimization.
Alternative Generation and Storage
Explore options for solar PV, wind, and other on-site renewable energy generation.
Assess energy storage solutions like batteries to reduce peak demand and enhance resilience.
