Green Light Energy Announces
Launch of Energy Audit Services
As an extension of the lighting assessment work
that Green Light Energy has been performing for years for property managers, we
now provide energy audits of all main building systems.
An
energy audit is a review of a building’s heating, cooling and lighting systems,
water consumption, ventilation, control systems, and the building envelope. Energy used in manufacturing and production,
"process" energy, may also be evaluated.
Energy
audits are performed by engineers with significant experience evaluating energy
systems in commercial, residential, and industrial facilities.
Green Light Energy has deep and broad energy auditing experience. Every building
is different, and we understand and focus on that fact. We approach each
assignment with the goal of finding energy savings opportunities for that
particular building. We have worked with clients having a single building in
one location or dozens of buildings nationwide. Our professional team has the
skills and experience necessary to handle portfolio-scale assignments.
We
offer a truly independent, unbiased perspective. We are not affiliated with any
energy supplier, utility, or manufacturer. We do not perform energy audits with
the intention of selling our clients more services at the end of the audit. We
act independently and solely on behalf of our client’s best interest. As we
focus on providing accurate, reliable, and thorough information, we uncover
operational improvements that can have an immediate impact on the bottom line.
Energy
audit reports provide a detailed description of the building’s energy-related
systems, a list of opportunities for energy reduction, estimated implementation
costs of energy cost reduction measures (ECRMs), and the financial metrics to
aid the building owner with decision-making. Our reports can be either
customized according to client needs, or standardized according to the ASHRAE
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers)
reporting model.
Our
goal is to find ways to cut energy use and realize energy cost savings. We
emphasize these results in our reports, together with the data and rationale
that might be necessary to get senior management approval for projects our
client wishes to pursue. Our energy audits typically identify cost reduction
opportunities in the 5% to 20% range from improvements with less than a 5-year
payback.
We
perform energy audits for several building types and for LEED for Existing
Buildings prerequisites and credits.
