Energy Audit


Energy Audit

Today’s buildings are complex and have interdependent systems with sophisticated controls. Therefore, even a small operational problem can greatly disrupt a building’s performance.

Optimizing a building’s energy consumption requires an approach that allows devices and systems to function together in an efficient and cost-effective way to meet occupant requirements and expectations. This approach is called “commissioning” for new buildings and “recommissioning” for existing buildings. When it is applied in a permanent manner to an existing building, it is called “ongoing commissioning”. "Natural Resources Canada".

Energy saving helps in two ways: protection of the environment and reduction in energy bills. An energy audit is a process to determine when, where why, and how energy is used in a plant or a building. It typically involves one or more of the following: Data collection, Plant surveys, Measuring instruments, Observation of processes, and Data analysis.
