Energy Efficiency Audit

How an Energy Audit Works

From Inspection to Action: Our Audit Approach

• Inspect and measure how energy is used (lighting, heating, ventilation, machinery, etc.)

• Analyze utility bills (electricity, gas, water)

• Identify areas of wastage (like poor insulation or inefficient equipment)

• Recommend improvements (e.g., LED lighting, better HVAC systems, smart controls)
  
  

Different businesses and buildings require different approaches to energy auditing. We tailor our audits to fit your goals, budget, and technical needs. Here are the main approaches we offer:

1. Walkthrough Audit (Basic)/ ASHRAE Level 1: 

Process:

•  A simple visual inspection.

• Review utility bills

• Short interviews with key staff

• Basic energy-saving recommendations
  
  

       Goal: Quickly identify obvious savings opportunities.

2. Detailed Energy Audit (Standard)/ ASHRAE Level 2

Process:

• Collects energy data and runs a deeper analysis.

• In-depth energy data collection (lighting, HVAC, equipment, controls)

• More interviews and operational analysis

• Preliminary financial analysis (payback, ROI, etc.)

      Goal: Provide a deeper energy use analysis and stronger business case for investments.

3. Investment-Grade Audit (Advanced)/ ASHRAE Level 3

Process:

• Highly detailed, used for securing funding or major retrofits.

• Equipment-level data logging (like real-time monitoring)

• Engineering-grade cost estimates

• Risk and sensitivity analysis

         Goal: Full technical and financial feasibility study for major upgrades.

ISO 50002 Energy Audits:

ISO 50002 is an international standard that defines how energy audits should be conducted.
It provides a structured, consistent approach for planning, carrying out, and reporting energy audits across all types of organizations — from small businesses to large industrial facilities.

Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 50002 supports companies in improving energy performance, cutting costs, and reducing carbon emissions.

Why ISO 50002 Matters for Your Business?

Proves credibility — shows clients and regulators that you’re serious about energy performance.
Finds real savings — with a structured, efficient audit approach.
Helps with compliance — like ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) in the UK.
Boosts sustainability reporting — supporting Net Zero and ESG goals.

Carbon accounting and validation/verification

Leading the Way in Sustainable Carbon Solutions

We provide comprehensive carbon accounting and validation services to help you track, reduce, and offset your greenhouse gas emissions.

Carbon Accounting:
This is like financial accounting, but for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It involves measuring, tracking, and reporting emissions.
It can be:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions (like from company-owned vehicles).

• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heating, or cooling.

• Scope 3: All other indirect emissions (like from suppliers, business travel, or even customers using your product).

Methods & Standards

• GHG Protocol: A widely used standard for carbon accounting that provides guidelines for measuring and managing GHG emissions across all scopes.

• ISO 14064: A series of standards focused on quantifying and reporting GHG emissions, ensuring transparency and consistency.

• CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project): A platform where organizations report their environmental impacts, and the data is often used by investors and stakeholders to evaluate sustainability practices.

Validation (and Verification):
Once you’ve done the accounting, we as a independent third party checks your data and methods to confirm everything is accurate, credible, and meets standards.

• Validation often happens before a project starts (e.g., making sure a carbon offset project is designed right).

• Verification checks results after the project or reporting period.

Why Carbon Accounting and Validation Are Important:

• Regulatory Compliance: Many governments are now requiring companies to disclose their emissions (e.g., EU Emissions Trading System, SEC climate disclosures).

• Investor Confidence: Investors increasingly value sustainability and want to ensure companies are reducing their environmental impact.

• Reputation Management: Consumers and stakeholders prefer companies that demonstrate transparency and accountability in their environmental practices.

Climate Goals: For achieving net-zero targets, accurate accounting and validation are necessary to measure progress and implement effective strategies.
