Energy Auditing and Saving

Know where your energy goes, and prove your building runs as designed.

Engineering services led by a Certified Energy Manager (CEM) and controls engineers who operate buildings every day: energy audits at all three levels, measurement and verification of savings, and BMS commissioning.

Energy auditing

Three levels, with the depth your decision needs

We follow the ASHRAE audit levels. Each level builds on the one before, and we help you choose the right one for your building and budget.

Level 1

Walk-through analysis

A fast first look that shows where energy is wasted and what deserves deeper study.

  • Utility bill analysis and benchmarking
  • Site walk-through of systems and operation
  • No-cost and low-cost measures
  • Rough savings and cost estimates
Best forA starting point, or screening a portfolio of buildings.
Level 2

Energy survey and analysis

A detailed engineering analysis of each system, with measures costed for savings and payback.

  • Energy breakdown by end use
  • Review of BMS trends, schedules and setpoints
  • Spot measurements on major equipment
  • Energy conservation measures with savings, cost and payback
  • Operation and maintenance improvements
Best forMost buildings, and budgeting retrofit projects.
Level 3

Investment-grade audit

Detailed analysis of capital-intensive projects, accurate enough for investment and financing decisions.

  • Data logging and sub-metering over time
  • Detailed engineering calculations or calibrated energy modelling
  • Life-cycle cost and risk analysis
  • A measurement and verification plan to IPMVP
Best forMajor capital projects and energy performance contracts.
From audit to verified savings

We don’t stop at the report

Because we operate buildings and build their software, we connect the audit findings to delivery, follow-up and measurement.

Consumption analysis

Analysis of energy use and the operating performance of the building and its systems.

Measurement and verification

Weather-adjusted baselines, with savings tracked against target to IPMVP.

Power quality

Meters checked against NEMA, IEC and IEEE limits: power factor, imbalance and frequency.

Continuous follow-up

The building can be linked to our platform so savings are tracked daily, not once a year.

BMS commissioning

Every point and every sequence, proven to work as designed

Hands-on experience delivering, operating and monitoring building management systems and HVAC and energy controls, and integrating systems over open protocols.

01

Pre-commissioning review

Review of control drawings, points list and sequences of operation before testing starts.

02

Point-to-point checkout

Every input and output verified, from field device to controller to graphic.

03

Sensor and actuator checks

Sensor calibration and stroke tests of valves and dampers.

04

Functional performance tests

Sequences tested on chiller plant, air-handling units, pumps and VFDs, with control loops tuned.

05

Integration

Chillers, meters, VFDs and third-party systems integrated over BACnet and Modbus.

06

Graphics, alarms and trends

Graphics, alarms, schedules and trend logs set up and verified.

Handover

Test reports, as-built points list and training for the operations team.

Retro-commissioning of existing buildings

We find overridden points, failed sensors and sequences that stopped working, then bring the building back to its design performance.

After commissioning, let the platform keep testing

Our O&M platform runs functional performance tests automatically and continuously, so the building doesn’t drift after handover.
