Energy Audits

It’s not unusual for a facility to save 10-50% on energy consumption after completing and implementing an energy audit. According to the Texas State Energy Conservation Office, “In many cases, 25 percent or more of a facility's utility bill can be attributed to inefficient equipment and building operation procedures and is therefore paid unnecessarily.”

CEP will first work with you to establish an energy consumption baseline by reviewing utility bills and analyzing your energy consumption history. To create a realistic energy saving goal, it’s important to know your past and current usage. It’s also important to compare your facility’s performance to other similar buildings in order to create an energy benchmark. CEP can show you how your facility is performing compared to buildings with similar square footage and with similar climates and load factor profiles (a measure of the uniformity and efficiency with which electrical energy is being used during specific time periods).

Once benchmarking is complete, CEP’s energy auditor will review each of your energy-using systems, supply you with information about your facility’s problem areas and give you specific recommendations for energy saving projects, such as equipment replacement or retrofitting, to reduce your consumption and maximize savings.
