Energy Audits at 3 Levels
At Asset Solutions, we perform energy audits at three levels—ranging from quick assessments to deep, investment-grade studies. Each level is designed to give you the right amount of detail based on your goals, timelines, and budget.
3 LEVELS
Level I: Walkthrough Assessment
A quick snapshot of your building’s energy use
Level I audits are designed to give leadership a fast, affordable overview of how a building is performing. Our team reviews your utility bills, performs a walkthrough of the facility, and identifies low-cost or no-cost opportunities to save energy.
- Provides a baseline of energy use and efficiency
- Flags obvious system issues or operational faults
- Highlights simple improvements worth immediate action
- Outlines potential larger projects for further study
Best for: Organizations that want a starting point for compliance, quick wins, or to identify whether deeper analysis is needed.
Level II: Energy Survey & Analysis
A deeper dive into systems, savings, and ROI
Level II audits build on Level I findings, offering a much more detailed breakdown of how your building consumes energy. We look at each system—HVAC, lighting, water, controls, and more—and provide recommendations with projected costs, savings, and payback periods.
- Detailed analysis of all practical energy-saving measures
- Cost and savings projections for both operational and capital improvements
- Evaluation of maintenance practices and occupant comfort issues
- Opportunities for renewable energy integration (solar, wind)
Best for: Owners and managers ready to make informed investment decisions with clear ROI projections.
Level III: Investment-Grade Audit
Comprehensive modeling and analysis for major projects
Level III audits are the gold standard when you need high-confidence data to support capital-intensive upgrades. These “investment-grade” audits include advanced monitoring, calibrated energy models, and vendor cost estimates to ensure decisions are backed by rigorous analysis.
- In-depth data collection and system monitoring over weeks or months
- Computer-modeled energy simulations to predict outcomes
- Detailed financial analysis including lifecycle costs and greenhouse gas impacts
- Vendor quotes, rebate and incentive analysis, and equipment specifications
Best for: Large capital projects, financing or incentive applications, and leadership teams that need investment-ready data for board or stakeholder approval.
Choosing the Right Audit
Not every building (or budget) needs the same level of detail. That’s why we tailor our audit approach to your specific objectives—whether you’re seeking compliance, quick cost reductions, or long-term strategic planning.
Let’s identify the right audit level for your goals.
