Energy Audits
Energy audits are systematic evaluations of energy usage in a building or facility. The primary objective of an energy audit is to identify areas where energy is being used inefficiently and to recommend measures to enhance energy conservation and reduce energy costs. Audits typically involve assessing current energy consumption patterns, inspecting equipment and systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and insulation, and analyzing utility bills. They may follow different levels of complexity, ranging from preliminary walkthrough inspections to comprehensive assessments that monitor energy use in real time. The results of an energy audit provide actionable insights, enabling building owners or managers to implement improvements that increase energy efficiency, promote sustainability, and lower overall energy consumption.
