Screening
Assessment is an ECE Engineering visit to
the site to determine if an Energy Audit would be appropriate for you
to pursue at this time. Our engineer will walk through the main facilities,
discuss energy cost problems and inspect the utility billing. Then ECE
will describe the expected energy project with building management to
decide if and how to proceed. The Retro-commissioning Screening Assessment
is often done at the same time. (This initial service is free of charge.)
Basic Commercial Energy Audit provides
the building management/owner with the expected basic plan to minimize
the energy costs. ECE engineers will briefly inspect most of the facility
equipment and controls that consume significant energy. The Preliminary
Energy Audit report will describe the cost-effective Energy Efficiency
Measures (EEM’s) to install, and will give a magnitude of their
energy savings and installation costs. Building management
will meeting with ECE Engineers regarding the Basic Energy Audit report,
and thus help prioritize the EEM’s for the Comprehensive Energy
Audit.
Comprehensive Commercial Energy Audit reports
to building management the specified installation designs that have been
thoroughly researched and inspected to provide cost-effective energy savings.
Detailed inspections and monitoring of equipment/controls
will enable our engineers to provide accurate energy savings calculations
for the proposed installations. A report attachment of Installation Cost
Estimates shall be given for each EEM for budgetary purposes. The report
will be ready to give to installation contractors for bid.
Verification Inspection and Report are
necessary to prove reliable performance and to know that energy cost savings
will result. Being experienced in the particular type of energy upgrade
installations, ECE engineers can effectively inspect the upgrades and
specify the required remediation where necessary.
