ASHRAE Level-1
Our ASHRAE Level-1 Audit is the basic starting point for building energy optimization. It involves a brief interview with your operating personnel, a review of your facility’s utility bills and other operating data, and a walk-through of the building. The ASHRAE Level-1 audit will help you understand how your building’s energy usage stacks up against similar building-types, set a standard for measuring improvements to your building, and decide whether further testing is necessary. The Level-1 Audit qualifies you for a range of financial incentives available from federal, state, and local utility programs.
ASHRAE Level-2
The ASHRAE Level-2 Audit builds on the findings of ASHRAE Level-1, evaluating the building energy systems in detail to determine a variety of possible energy improvements. Components tested in an ASHRAE Level-2 Audit include:
Building Envelope |
Lighting |
Heating |
Air Conditioning (HVAC) |
Domestic Hot Water |
Plug Loads |
Ventilation |
Compressed Air |
The Level-2 Audit results in a clear and concise report that describes a variety of Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) including no-cost and low-cost measures, modifications to system controls, and building automation, operational changes, and potential capital upgrades.
