Energy Audits and Smart-Building Assessments

Find out exactly where your energy — and money — is going

A detailed analysis of your business’s energy usage, from utility bills to equipment nameplates, identifying real savings opportunities so you can reduce consumption and lower your bills with confidence.

Overview

A clear-eyed picture of how your building actually uses energy.

Energy Audits

An Energy Audit offers paid preliminary energy assessments or grid-interoperability audits for commercial building. Our team walks the site, inspects equipment, and pulls metering data to build a precise picture of where energy is being used, wasted, and lost.

Smart-Building Assessments  evaluates a facility’s technology, data integration, and operational performance to measure how efficiently and intelligently it functions .

Every finding is tied to a dollar figure, so you know exactly what’s on the table before you spend anything.

The result is a prioritized list of opportunities, ranked by cost, savings, and payback period — the same data we use later if you move forward with retrofits, equipment upgrades, or a full Energy Solution.

On-site inspection

Building envelope, HVAC, lighting, and equipment checked in person, not just estimated from bills.

Ranked by payback

Every recommendation comes with an estimated cost, savings, and payback period attached.

A report you can act on

A clear, prioritized report — the starting point for retrofits, upgrades, or financing.

Audit Levels

Three depths of audit, matched to the decision at hand.

Not every building needs the same level of detail. We scope the audit to the size of the investment you’re considering.

LEVEL 1

Walkthrough Audit or Smart-Building Assessment

A fast, low-cost site visit to spot obvious inefficiencies and quick wins.

LEVEL 2

Detailed / Diagnostic Audit

A deeper look with metering and modeling to quantify savings precisely.

LEVEL 3

Investment-Grade Audit

Engineering-level detail suited to financing large capital projects.

What We Examine

Every system that touches your energy bill.

From first assessment to islanded operation, every Nature to Power system is built on the same core capabilities — designed to cut costs, absorb outages, and scale to the way your facility actually runs.

ENVELOPE

Building Envelope

Insulation, windows, and air sealing that determine how hard your HVAC has to work.

HVAC

Heating & Cooling

Equipment age, communication capabilities, efficiency, and controls, often the single largest source of savings.

LIGHTING

Lighting Systems

Fixture types, controls, and daylighting opportunities across the facility.

EQUIPMENT

Process & Plug Loads

Motors, appliances, and equipment specific to how the building actually operates.

CONTROLS

Building Controls

Scheduling, setpoints, and automation that can unlock savings with no new equipment. Auditing existing building management systems (BMS), heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and lighting to check communication capabilities.

METERING

Metering & Data

Existing meters and data sources, and where advanced metering would add visibility.

FAQ

Common questions about Energy Audits and SMART-Building Assessments

A walkthrough audit can be completed in a single site visit. Detailed and investment-grade audits typically take one to a few weeks, depending on building size and how much sub-metering and modeling is involved.

Typical assessment takes between 2 to 8 weeks, depending on the size of the building portfolio and the availability of existing documentation.

No. Site visits are scheduled around your operating hours, and inspections are designed to be non-invasive — equipment stays running throughout.

Yes. A core goal of the assessment is identifying how to integrate or upgrade older, disconnected legacy systems into a modern, unified network

Twelve months of utility bills is the main thing that speeds things up. Access to mechanical rooms and equipment nameplates during the site visit is also helpful, but our team can work around what’s available.

Cost depends on the audit level and building size. Get 10% off your first energy audit when you reach out this month — reach out and we’ll quote based on your specific facility.

Most facilities see an ROI within 1 to 3 years through immediate energy savings, optimized maintenance schedules, and reduced operational downtime.  
 

You decide what to act on. Many clients move directly into retrofits, equipment upgrades, or financing through us, but the report is yours to use however you choose — there’s no obligation to continue.
