Energy and carbon audits

As energy costs continue to rise and the need to monitor your carbon footprint increases, our team has the experience needed to identify opportunities for making your existing buildings more efficient through audits.

We perform evaluations from benchmarking to investment-grade evaluations using the process outlined by ASHRAE Standard 211: Standard for Commercial Building Energy Audits. Our goal is to provide the potential facility improvement measures (FIMs) that range from no or low cost to planned capital expenditure projects. Our team works with the facility staff to better understand your operations, ongoing issues with systems and comfort and potential improvements that would reduce maintenance and improve comfort. We use an energy model to identify energy use by system, which highlights the systems that are using more energy, and to back-check the proposed savings of FIMs.
