How much money/energy can be saved by getting an energy audit?

When talking about possible energy savings in a facility from energy consulting, it’s impossible to make an accurate estimation without knowing many of the factors at play in the facility.  Factors such as facility size, equipment, equipment usage, personnel, lighting, current utility usage, and more can directly effect your energy savings.

We have seen savings upwards of 40% on some facilities, with the average savings being around 15-20%.  If the facility has already had energy audits in the past, it’s possible that the facility is already efficient, and in that case, there wouldn’t be much we could do in the way of energy savings but confirm the audit.  If the facility has been in operation for many years without having had an energy audit, it’s very possible that we can save you lots on your energy bill.

Energy Audits will determine which energy efficiency measures will help you reach your target energy reduction goals and meet your capital investment return criteria.  Pacific Northwest Energy (Inspections) Group will conduct an on-site field visit to evaluate various building systems and present the following for each energy efficiency measure recommended:

• Scope of Work
• Estimated Complete Installation Cost
• Estimated energy and operating savings
• Greenhouse gas emission reduction
• Available rebates and incentives
• Payback period and Internal Rate of Return
