Our commercial energy consulting team provides energy audits for commercial, municipal and industrial buildings. 

A high performance building audit focuses on energy efficiency, and also includes an assessment and analysis of other building performance measures, such as moisture management, environmental issues, and comfort. Click here to view a case study featuring our work with the Town of Hillsborough, which involved conducting high performance building audits for 10 of the Town's facilities. 

A typical energy audit project includes the following items:

• A full on-site inspection of the building looking at all aspects of building performance
• Energy utility bill audit/analysis
• Research on specific identified issues
• Identification of any high priority energy, building performance, environmental, or safety issues
• Low and no-cost operation and maintenance recommendations
• Fast to long-term payback recommendations
• Moisture and indoor air quality improvement recommendations
• Initial planning for HVAC equipment replacements
• Long term building greening opportunities

When possible, recommendations will have estimated implementation costs, savings and simple payback calculations. The actual deliverables will be an Energy/High Performance Building Audit Report with the above recommendations and a presentation meeting, during which time we will explain the report and answer any questions.

For new construction, we recommend starting with a high performance building plan review. This is a relatively low-cost step that identifies potential problems, and offers options  for increasing the energy performance of your building before you break ground.

We also offer LEED certification and point documentation with an emphasis on energy performance and renewable energy.
