Energy Auditing is a systematic process to identify energy savings opportunities in existing buildings. The identified energy conservation measures (ECMs) typically include no cost and low cost measures as well as those requiring large capital expenditures. Energy Audit recommendations typically involve the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and lighting systems in the building, the building envelope, maintenance and operational procedures, as well as occupant education.

Energy Audit procedures are well defined in the ASHRAE “Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits” and fall into one of three categories, Level I, II or III, with a Level I audit being a low cost walkthrough analysis. Level III audits are often referred to as investment grade audits and contain detailed analysis and cost estimates to help determine payback and return on investment for ECMs requiring large capital outlays.

KLG Jones provides stand alone energy audits as well as audits that are a part of the retro-commissioning process. We can also provide construction documents, project management, TAB services and final testing to implement any of the recommended energy conservation measures.
