An Energy Audit Could Open The Door To Major Energy Savings
With energy costs constantly on the rise, energy conservation has become a very important economic strategy for both businesses and homeowners alike. The best way to achieve meaningful reduction in energy consumption is to examine a building’s unique energy-use factors and develop a comprehensive conservation approach that accounts for the property's shell, insulation and comfort systems. Each building, from the smallest home to the largest commercial operation, has a unique energy-use system with a consumption pattern that can be measured, analyzed and, with the help of a Boro energy audit, improved.
At Boro Energy, we perform an energy audit in the following steps:
- Cost Evaluation: We start by analyzing the building's energy expenses. By determining how much energy is used and accounting for cubic footage, we develop an energy consumption baseline and building profile. The information gathered during this stage also helps us evaluate the effectiveness of fuel choices and purchasing strategies.
- Preliminary Building Assessment: We tour the building and record information about comfort systems, windows, doors, insulation and other key variables.
- Detailed Building Assessment: We test the building using advanced equipment such as blower doors to assess the sealing of the building shell and identify points of air infiltration.
- Comprehensive Report: We combine our findings from the two-stage building assessment in an evaluation report that covers the comfort systems, insulation, air sealing, appliances, lighting and more. The report includes specific recommendations, including the savings potential of each improvement. It also identifies opportunities for cost relief, including grants and tax credits for energy conservation.
Once the evaluation and report are complete, Boro Energy has the resources and expertise to help you implement most of the conservation measures we recommend, including the installation of brand new high-efficiency comfort systems. If you’re looking to cut your energy costs this heating season and for many more years to come, contact Boro Energy today to schedule your energy audit.
