An energy audit is an assessment of a building’s energy usage conducted to identify opportunities for improving energy efficiency and reducing energy costs.
While there is a cost associated with getting an energy audit, the potential savings from implementing energy efficiency improvements identified during the audit can often outweigh the initial investment.
The cost of an energy audit can vary depending on the location, size of the building, and the level of detail included in the audit. However, it typically ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
Yes, energy audits are worthwhile as they help identify energy wastage, offer recommendations for efficiency improvements, and can lead to long-term cost savings and environmental benefits.
The three types of energy audits are walk-through audits (preliminary), energy surveys and analysis (general), and comprehensive energy audits (detailed).
