Energy audit

An energy audit is an in-depth analysis of the energy consumption of a building, whether residential, commercial, industrial or institutional. It helps identify areas and systems where energy is being wasted, and suggests improvements to optimize energy efficiency. Remedial measures are designed to save money over the long term and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

What is analyzed during an energy audit?

The energy audit can be carried out at different levels of detail, depending on your building and your needs. In general terms, it includes an assessment of energy bills, data collection during site visits, energy modelling, etc. energy modeling and energy report.

• – Detailed data collection is used to assess the performance and cost of each energy measure. This includes electricity, gas and water consumption, as well as temperature readings and detailed system inspections.
• – Energy modeling compiles all the data so that the expert can calibrate each measure and optimize the best components to provide you with a list of improvements tailored to your needs and budget.

What is an energy report?

The energy report is the main deliverable of an audit. It provides general information about the site, its energy consumption, building systems and the audit process itself. Depending on the scope of the mandate, the report may also include :

• – Realistic recommendations for each energy measure, with reasonable savings and cost estimates;
• – A clear follow-up plan;
• – All the details needed to implement the proposed recommendations.

Our energy audit service offers you a turnkey energy efficiency solution, no matter what level you need. Our commitment to your success doesn’t stop at the end of the audit. We offer you ongoing monitoring to ensure that recommendations are fully implemented and that benefits are realized over time.

What type of building is the energy audit designed for?

All buildings can benefit from an energy audit. Whether it’s an industrial, commercial or institutional building, there’s something for everyone with the different levels on offer. Real estate renovation projects are also excellent candidates. For residential housing, the Renoclimat and programs Canada Green HousingLoan can help you with your energy assessment.

Why opt for building energy optimization?

Optimizing a building’s energy efficiency means reducing or completely eliminating the carbon emissions associated with its operation. By adopting renewable energy sources, more efficient technologies and sustainable construction practices, a building’s carbon footprint can be minimized, helping to combat global warming. Economically, optimization can lead to significant long-term savings on energy costs and reduce dependence on more expensive fossil fuels.
