Commercial Energy Management, Audits, and Benchmarking
Energy Management
Energy Management utilizes engineering and economic principles to control the cost of energy.
Energy Management establishes a process for
- Benchmarking
- Setting goals
- Developing action plans and
- Tracking program results
Energy cost reduction results from
- Improvements in energy efficiency
- Changing patterns of energy use and
- Shifting to other sources of energy
Energy Benchmarking
The term “benchmarking” describes the process of tracking the energy consumed, over time, of an existing building and comparing the results to similar buildings or an applicable standard.
Benchmarking is critical to allow facilities to measure and compare their energy usage to similar buildings/facilities, both locally and nationally.

Create a facility-wide energy management plan for your business.
Energy Audit
At the heart of energy management is the Energy Audit (aka Energy Survey or Assessment).
Energy Audits can vary from relatively simple, preliminary reviews of utility data to detailed calculations of energy and cost savings and detailed cost analyses of projects to implement.
The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) defines three different levels of energy audit; Level I is the least detailed and Level III is the most detailed.
By knowing what each level entails, a building owner can determine which type of audit will be the most cost effective.
Typical Areas of Investigation:
Utility Analysis and Demand Response
Lighting – Exterior / Interior
Building Envelope
Indoor Air Quality
Water Usage
Mechanical Systems
- Heating Equipment
- Cooling Equipment
- Distribution/Duct Systems
- Ventilation
- Domestic Hot Water
- Compressed Air Systems
- Motors, Pumps
- Co-generation and Combined Heat & Power
