Energy Audits
An energy audit is the starting point in the process of getting control of energy costs. There are several kinds of audits, depending on the systems the audit focuses on. For office buildings an audit of the heating, cooling and lighting systems would cover the most important systems. For a manufacturing line you would want to add manufacturing process components such as motors, ovens and machine tools.
If you add utility system usage monitoring, electric, natural gas and water, you will have a complete energy profile over time.
The first step in a comprehensive audit is to get electricity and natural gas quotes. You then have a proper baseline to evaluate savings due to any mitigation strategies, such as LED lighting retrofits, solar energy systems, HVAC upgrades etc.
The results of a comprehensive audit will include a demand profile for your facility including peak-demand amounts and times and some suggested cost mitigation strategies. Contact us for more information.
