© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. Types of Energy Audits – ASHRAE Definitions  Preliminary Energy Use Analysis  Level I – Walk-Through Analysis  Level II – Energy Survey and Analysis  Level III – Detailed Analysis

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. Preliminary Energy Use Analysis  Analyze historic utility use and cost  Develop an EUI  Compare to similar buildings Energy Benchmarking

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. Level I – Walk-Through Analysis  Brief on-site survey of the building  Savings and cost analysis of low- cost / no-cost ECMs  Provide a listing of potential capital improvements that merit further consideration

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. Level II – Energy Survey and Engineering Analysis  More detailed building survey  Breakdown of energy use  Savings and cost analysis of all ECMs  Listing of ECMs requiring more thorough data collection and analysis (Level III)

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. Level III – Detailed Analysis  Focuses on capital-intensive projects identified during Level II audit  More detailed field analysis  More rigorous engineering analysis  Cost and savings calculations with a high level of confidence

© 2009 AirAdvice, Inc. What’s the Difference? Level I Walk-Through Analysis Level II Energy Survey & Analysis Level III Detailed Analysis Focus of Audit  Documenting systems and operations  Rough estimate of savings potential  No / low cost measures  Energy consumption by end use  More rigorous estimate of savings potential  No / low cost and capital measures  Detailed analysis of subsystems  Investment-grade estimates of savings potential  Capital measures Inputs  Utility bills  Site drawings  Site walk-through  Interviews  Level I items, plus measurement of key environmental parameters  Level II items, plus measurement of key equipment operational parameters Outputs  Checklists  Engineering estimates  Spreadsheet calculations  More complex spreadsheet calculations  Simple computer energy models  Complex computer energy models
