Energy Audits
An energy audit is a review of energy use at your facility or premises and the preparation of a report that contains a list of energy saving recommendations, ranked in order of payback. For each recommendation, the expected cost, benefit, greenhouse savings and payback is shown in concrete terms (for example, "by changing to energy efficient globes you will save $1,000 per year for an outlay of around $800 with a payback of 0.8 years").
Audit areas include lighting, heating-ventilation-air conditioning (HVAC) and other physical aspects of organisational facilities on-site. We offer three levels of audit, level 1 is a survey of the energy costs and a comparison to the relevant benchmark (usually on a floor area basis). This type of audit is inexpensive and shows whether or not the building’s energy consumption is excessive , Levels 2 and 3 and are compliant with comprehensive AZ/NZ 3598:2000 standard. They can be used as the basis for preparing an energy management plan and to schedule any energy investments.
