A building energy audit is a systematic examination and analysis of a building's energy use and potential energy savings. It involves an in-depth assessment of a building's energy consumption patterns, equipment efficiency, insulation levels, air leakage, lighting, and other factors that influence energy use. The purpose of the audit is to identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and recommend measures to reduce energy consumption, lower utility bills, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. The audit may include inspections, data collection, energy modeling, and analysis by qualified professionals. The findings and recommendations from the energy audit help building owners or managers make informed decisions regarding energy efficiency investments and prioritize energy-saving measures.
