Frequently asked questions

What should I look for when conducting an energy efficiency audit?

Focus on high-consumption areas first: lighting systems, HVAC equipment, insulation quality, and equipment operation schedules. Document current energy usage patterns, identify equipment running unnecessarily, check for air leaks around windows and doors, and evaluate temperature settings. This checklist guides you through each critical inspection point systematically.

Who should be involved in completing this energy audit checklist?

Include facility managers who understand building systems, maintenance staff familiar with equipment operation, department supervisors who know operational patterns, and sustainability officers who can align findings with broader goals. This collaborative approach ensures you capture both technical inefficiencies and operational behaviors that affect energy consumption across your organization.

What documentation should I gather before starting the energy audit?

Collect utility bills from the past 12-24 months, equipment specifications and maintenance records, building plans showing insulation details, previous audit reports, and occupancy schedules. This historical data helps establish your energy baseline and identify patterns or anomalies in consumption that may indicate inefficiencies the audit should specifically target.
