Commercial Energy Assessments
If your goal is to foster responsible energy use while reducing your energy expenditures, Clean Energy Structures can help. Using a variety of measurement and analytical tools, we identify opportunities to reduce costs and eliminate waste. Our audits have resulted in significant reductions in energy consumption—sometimes as much as 40 percent—and dramatic savings in operating expenses. We make recommendations based on return on investment for each option we identify, and the availability of incentives and rebates. We provide:
Benchmarking
Known as “energy intensity,” this preliminary analysis tool generates an overall building efficiency rating (like “miles per gallon”) and compares it to similar structures (expressed in Btu/square foot per year). We use the rating to determine the potential for energy savings. We use data from similar buildings in similar areas to determine energy efficiency.
Walk-Through Audit & Analysis
A walk-through audit is a cost-effective way of identifying and evaluating building energy use. Clean Energy Structure’s audit team will tour your facility, evaluate equipment and behavioral patterns, and develop a full report with various energy and water conservation recommendations.
Detailed Audit & Analysis
A detailed building analysis is a more thorough audit process.
Our analysis evaluates insulation, windows, doors, lighting, appliances, heating, cooling, ventilation, refrigeration and any other energy-using equipment. We also evaluate occupancy and use patterns, including water use to determine the savings potential of behavior modification. Once we’ve completed our building walk-through, we’ll develop a model using energy analysis software. Then, we’ll provide a comprehensive report and consultation with recommended energy and water conservation measures, a ranked list of low-cost, high-return energy improvements and expected return on investment.
