FAQ About Energy Audit
What are the four steps of an energy audit?
The four steps of an energy audit are:
Planning: In this step, the energy auditor will gather information about the building or facility, including its size, occupancy, and energy usage. They will also determine the scope of the audit and identify any areas of concern.
Data collection: During this step, the energy auditor will collect data on energy use, including utility bills, meter readings, and other relevant information. They may also conduct interviews with building occupants and staff to gain a better understanding of energy use patterns.
Analysis: In this step, the energy auditor will analyze the data collected to identify energy-saving opportunities. They will evaluate the performance of building systems and equipment and identify any areas where energy efficiency upgrades can be made.
Reporting: The final step involves presenting the findings of the energy audit in a report that outlines potential energy-saving measures, estimated cost savings, and a prioritized list of recommended upgrades. The report may also include a financial analysis of the potential return on investment for each recommended measure.
