Energy Audits

These audits are a comprehensive assessment of how your building uses energy. Its primary purpose is to identify where energy is wasted and provide actionable insights into how you can improve efficiency. A range of studies will be undertaken throughout the process to ensure all aspects of your building’s energy usage are covered.

How are energy efficiency audits completed?

Energy efficiency audits tend to follow a structured approach to ensure accuracy each time they are completed. This might look something like this:

• Initial consultation – We will take time to understand your needs, building and energy goals before visiting your premises
• On-site inspection – One of our decarbonisation team members will come to your site to assess energy systems, such as lighting, insulation and HVAC
• Data collection – We will ask to see your utility bills, building plans and energy meters to understand your current consumption trends
• Performance benchmarking – Utilising our vast knowledge and industry-leading software, we will compare your property's performance against similar facilities
• Inefficiencies are identified – Our experts will pinpoint the exact areas where energy is currently being wasted, which could be due to outdated equipment or poor insulation
• Recommendations will be made – We will create a detailed report outlining the specific actions we believe could enhance your building’s energy efficiency, allowing you to make more informed decisions

Once you have your detailed report, it will be up to you to decide which improvements you would like to make. If you choose us to conduct your energy audit, then we will check in with you shortly after you receive your report. If you decide to action any of our recommendations, our building consultants will be able to manage your project from start to finish.
