How Commercial Energy Audits Benefit Your Business
Generally, one-third of operating expenses will be from energy consumption; it’s one of the largest operating expenses that a commercial building will have. Surprised? This is why you need an energy audit in your commercial space.
When your business is more energy-efficient, you see reduced operating costs and an increase in profits – not to mention – property values! Here are our top reasons why a commercial energy audit makes sense for your company...and your bottom-line.
What is A Commercial Energy Audit?
An energy audit will determine the most effective means of reducing your businesses’ energy use. It evaluates how efficiently your building is using energy and provides a clear breakdown of how, where, and when this energy is being used. It also can include current electric costs and how these apply to your facility.
Then, you get a list of potential modifications that if implemented, will yield optimal energy savings for your business.
Benefits of an Energy Audit
If you want to conserve energy, lower costs, and increase asset values while creating a more environmentally friendly building, a good first step is to have a commercial energy audit conducted.
Energy auditors will examine:
Your utility bill including past bills
Lighting
Equipment performance and runtime
Condition of the building envelope
Current operating schedules
Thermal Boundaries
An on-site survey of the property
After evaluating all the above factors, we can recommend cost-effective commercial lighting solutions that you can implement to maximize the functionality and energy usage in your building.

Energy Efficiency = Business Efficiency
An audit is the first step to make your building more energy-efficient. Some energy conservation changes to your commercial space include:
Changing incandescent bulbs to energy-saving CFL bulbs or LED lighting
Installing programmable thermostats, motion sensors for lighting systems, or times that turn off lights or equipment when not in use.
Replacing or rewiring electrical lighting systems
It’s more than lighting as an opportunity to save for your commercial operations. Incorporating energy-efficient components to HVAC systems such as variable speed fans and blowers, and other preventative maintenance. High-efficiency Energy Star certified units are also recommended.

Reduce Operating Expenses
Financially, the greatest impact that an energy audit will have on your business is by reducing operating costs.
If you haven’t retrofitted LED lighting and are still using old technology bulbs, your business can save a lot of money by switching to LED lighting options. Not only do LEDs improve the lighting quality in your building, but they significantly reduce electricity usage.
