One of the biggest expenses all property owners incur is energy costs. With the rising cost of energy, as well as the need to be more energy efficient and reducing you carbon footprint, having a building energy audit completed can help determine areas that need improvement. A third-party can perform a building energy audit for your property or business, and it can be advantageous to have their insight. Their analysis can help reveal certain faults and offer solutions to fix them to improve efficiency.
Areas of Waste
An analysis and audit will identify areas where you are wasting energy. Most companies waste a significant amount of energy daily by simply not following best practices and protocols. The energy audit will determine areas in which you are wasting energy, calculate how much it is a cost to you, and develop a plan for addressing these concerns to reduce your squandered output.
Capital Repairs
While there are many operational changes that most businesses could complete to reduce their energy costs, another reason why energy cost can be so high is because they have equipment that is older and inefficient. The building energy audit will be able to identify capital equipment and major appliances that are using too much energy. They will also be able to develop a plan for maintenance schedules and potential equipment replacement to figure out a way to reduce your resource consumption.
An external building energy audit will be beneficial to detail facility costs and to implement a plan to optimize operations. If you are interested in finding ways to reduce your property’s energy output and costs, contact us to learn more about how a building energy audit could help you.
