Auditing & Measurement
If you can’t measure it, you can’t control it. This truism is at heart of our energy management process. We begin with a development of a baseline energy profile as a critical first step of an energy audit. Our audit team utilizes variety of tools to gather data, ranging from manual data collection through temporary data loggers, to permanent Energy Management System deployment to accurately assess end use energy profiles. Once the project is completed we confirm projected energy savings through final measurement & verification. Our auditing and measurement solutions include:
- Energy Auditing
- Measurement & Verification
- Energy Management Systems (EMS) Integration
