Energy Audits  a survey of existing facilities to identify the most cost-effective and practical energy retrofit opportunities. We examine the target buildings, review existing drawings and specs, study ongoing energy programs, collect and analyze 24-months utility bills and interview building operating personnel and occupants. Coupled with Utility Rates Analysis, this is a very effective service that identifies achievable and realistic Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) that may be implemented to save energy and meet energy reduction goals.

Success Stories

One recent energy audit of a large public building found the A/C was running needlessly all weekend; reprogramming the Energy Management System would produce $66,000 in annual savings at essentially no cost to implement.

A corporate client was blaming his electric utility for high rates and high expenses in his building; our benchmarking showed that his energy consumption was in line with his peers, freeing him to focus on his real problems of old controls and inefficient HVAC equipment.

A large school system had a pilot project for performance contracting in a few schools and wanted energy audits to assess the effectiveness of the program before it committed to a system wide contract. Our studies found serious problems to be corrected before moving forward and saved the school system millions of dollars.
