Energy Audit — Commercial Building Assessment
Run a full energy audit for commercial or industrial facilities. Identifies waste, models savings, and generates a prioritized retrofit roadmap with ROI timelines.
What It Does
- Collects utility data (electric, gas, water, steam) across 12+ months
- Benchmarks consumption against ASHRAE and ENERGY STAR baselines
- Identifies the top 10 energy conservation measures (ECMs) ranked by payback period
- Calculates simple payback, IRR, and lifecycle cost for each measure
- Generates an ASHRAE Level II audit report with executive summary
- Flags utility rate optimization opportunities (demand response, TOU shifting)
- Maps available rebates and incentive programs by state/region
How to Use
Tell your agent:
- "Run an energy audit for our 45,000 sq ft office building"
- "Analyze our utility bills and find savings opportunities"
- "Create a retrofit roadmap for our warehouse — budget is $200K"
Provide:
- Building type — office, retail, warehouse, manufacturing, healthcare, education
- Square footage and location (climate zone matters)
- 12 months of utility bills (or monthly kWh/therms if summarized)
- Operating hours — shifts, weekend usage, seasonal patterns
- Major equipment — HVAC age/type, lighting, compressed air, process loads
Audit Framework
Benchmarking
- EUI (Energy Use Intensity) = total kBtu ÷ sq ft
- Compare against CBECS median by building type
- ENERGY STAR score target: 75+ (top quartile)
