Can an Energy Audit Help Me Become More Energy Efficient?

Most buildings in America were built when energy was relatively cheap. Today  that has all changed. With electricity rates increasing at about 12% per year and natural gas, propane and fuel oil prices rising at about 25% per year, heating, cooling and electrifying your home or business is now very very expensive. An "Energy Audit" is the first step in the process to make these buildings more energy efficient. 

In conducting an "Energy Audit" you will be asked to provide some information related to the size, construction and configuration of your building. You will also be asked to provide information about the equipment (furnace, hot water heater, air conditioning unit, etc.) in this building and what the utility bills have been over the last several years. Our aim would be to answer the following questions:

  • What should your expenses be, based upon a heating, cooling and hot water load calculation?
  • What are your actual costs?
  • Why the difference?
  • What can be done to improve the energy performance of your building?
  • With the rising cost of all energy forms, what makes sense in the future?
Having gathered the information and made the necessary calculations, we would produce a report which would recommend the changes to be made to the building to improve its performance. The report would also suggest strategies to reduce the impact of future energy price increases.
