Energy Audits for Office Buildings
You are probably familiar with the saying “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” This is certainly true with respect to the energy efficiency of an office building. Unless they are optimized for energy savings, most office buildings hemorrhage energy, increasing operating costs. Office buildings may even be contributing to increased employee sick days if older equipment is causing poor indoor air quality.
The good news is that thanks to economies of scale, identification of energy inefficiencies offers the potential for tremendous savings. An energy audit by Envinity allows organizations to discover deeper opportunities for savings. Typically, the biggest energy consumers in an office building include:
- Mechanical systems (heating, cooling, and ventilation),
- Insulation and Air Sealing (air infiltration and weather stripping)
- Lighting
As part of the energy audit, you will receive a comprehensive energy management plan offering recommendations for retrofitting, replacement, and energy management opportunities. The plan will also include a financial payback analysis, including estimated annual savings, estimated cost to implement, and simple payback for each recommendation. This gives you an opportunity to prioritize energy efficiency measures according to your budget.
