FAQ About Energy Audit

The three types of energy audits are:

Walk-through audit or Level 1 audit: This is the most basic type of energy audit and involves a visual inspection of the building and its systems to identify energy-saving opportunities. This audit provides a general overview of energy usage and potential savings opportunities.

Energy survey or Level 2 audit: This type of audit involves a more detailed analysis of energy use and typically includes measurements and data collection to assess energy performance. The audit report includes a more detailed analysis of energy-saving opportunities and estimated cost savings.

Investment-grade audit or Level 3 audit: This is the most comprehensive type of energy audit and involves a detailed analysis of energy use, equipment, and systems. This audit provides a highly detailed assessment of energy-saving opportunities, including technical and economic feasibility, and includes a detailed financial analysis of the potential cost savings and return on investment. This type of audit is typically used for large, complex facilities or buildings where significant energy savings can be achieved.
