Section 2 of 5Understanding Energy Audits
A comprehensive energy audit is the foundation of any successful retrofit project. It identifies where energy is being wasted, quantifies potential savings, and prioritizes interventions based on cost-effectiveness and impact.
Assessment Tools
- •Blower Door Test: Measures building air tightness
- •Thermal Imaging: Identifies insulation gaps and air leaks
- •Energy Modeling: Simulates building performance
- •Sub-metering: Tracks individual system consumption
