An energy audit is a professional assessment that evaluates how a building uses energy and identifies opportunities to improve efficiency. It examines key building systems—including HVAC, lighting, insulation, building envelope components, and equipment—to identify energy waste, reduce operating costs, and improve overall building performance.
The audit provides a detailed report with practical, cost-effective recommendations to reduce energy consumption, lower utility costs, and support sustainability and decarbonization goals. Energy audits can also support Local Law 97 compliance planning, LEED certification, and long-term energy management strategies for commercial, residential, and institutional buildings.
