Energy Efficiency Audit Checklist
Building Envelope
Inspect the condition of the building’s roof, walls, doors, and windows for leaks or drafts.
Check insulation levels in the walls, roof, and floors to ensure they meet current standards.
Examine window and door frames for proper sealing and weather-stripping.
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems
Evaluate the age, condition, and efficiency of the HVAC units.
Check thermostats and control systems for proper function and programmability.
Inspect ductwork for leakage, insulation, and proper airflow.
Lighting
Assess the current use of natural lighting and the feasibility of increasing daylight penetration.
Review the types of artificial lighting used (e.g., LED, fluorescent) and their efficiency levels.
Examine lighting controls such as timers, dimmers, and occupancy sensors.
Water Systems
Inspect hot water systems for proper insulation and temperature settings.
Check for leaks in the plumbing system, including all faucets, pipes, and fixtures.
Evaluate the use of low-flow toilets, showerheads, and faucets.
Electrical Systems and Equipment
Review the condition and efficiency of major appliances and equipment.
Examine the electrical distribution system for any outdated or inefficient components.
Assess the potential for using energy management systems or programmable controls.
Renewable Energy and Onsite Generation
Investigate the potential for onsite renewable energy generation, such as solar or wind power.
Assess the feasibility and benefits of installing solar panels or other renewable energy systems.
Evaluate existing renewable energy systems for performance and efficiency.
