Energy Efficiency Audits/Appraisal

An Energy Audit for commercial and industrial (C&I) facilities includes the study of electric and natural gas usage and billing. Usage covers lighting, HVAC, motors, boilers, other energy using equipment, and building envelope. A typical audit usually takes two to ten hours at the facility, depending on size. It is helpful to have the assistance of a facility’s person to locate the energy using equipment and to answer questions about plant operation. Also, twelve months of electric and gas bills are necessary for an effective energy study. After gathering the data, it is analyzed and a detailed report is prepared. The report addresses specific energy and cost reduction recommendations for the facility as well as their environmental reduction impacts.
