Inertia’s energy building audit is a thorough assessment of a structure’s energy usage and efficiency. It identifies areas of energy waste and provides actionable recommendations to enhance energy conservation, reduce operational costs, and improve environmental sustainability.

This process, conducted by our energy experts, leverages advanced technology to create customized, effective solutions for each unique building. Through this process, we evaluate heating and cooling system, lighting systems, and other areas of energy usage.

Utility companies often offer energy efficiency incentives and credits to encourage customers to reduce energy consumption and adopt sustainable practices. These can include rebates on energy-efficient appliances, discounted energy audits, and bill credits for installing renewable energy systems. Some utilities also offer demand response programs, where customers are rewarded for reducing their energy use during peak times.

Additionally, business customers can often receive customized incentives based on their specific energy-saving projects. We help our customers research and claim utility company rebates.

Energy benchmarking in a commercial building involves measuring and tracking the building’s energy consumption over time, and comparing it to similar buildings or established standards. This process starts with data collection, where energy bills, occupancy rates, and building characteristics are gathered.

These details are then entered into an energy benchmarking tool, such as ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, which calculates the building’s energy usage intensity. This score is used to identify whether the building is using more or less energy than comparable properties, helping to highlight potential areas for improvement. This systematic process is crucial for creating effective energy-saving strategies.
