Energy Site Survey Audits

Comparable to ASHRAE Audits

  • Level 1 ASHRAE Comparable: Basic on-site walkthrough, Energy data collection, and some interviews with on-site staff. This type of audit is used to determine if there are any opportunities to reduce energy consumption, issues with how the energy is being consumed, issues with equipment, potential changes in lighting, water, building envelope, etc. and what sort of cost saving opportunities might be possible through upgrades and/or changes in user behaviors.
  • Level 2 ASHRAE Comparable: This audit is like a Level 1 but much more in-depth, specifically in terms of your facility’s financial analysis of the potential upgrades and improvements. Each of the energy saving measures will be broken out to include detailed costs, decreased energy costs, ROI etc.

Please note that ERC’s Energy Site Survey Audits are completed by our electrical engineers. If a client needs an ASHRAE Audit for mandated compliancy, our team will obtain bids from multiple firms employing certified ASHRAE auditors, professional energy auditors, Certified Licensed Professional Engineers, etc.
