The Envelope:
Where Heat Meets Sky

Before we touch a single piece of mechanical equipment, we map every surface the building presents to the weather. Rooflines. Walls. Windows. Doors. Each one a potential deficit on your energy balance sheet.

In 87% of commercial buildings we audit, envelope losses account for more than half of total energy waste — yet most HVAC upgrades miss them entirely.

Phase 02

Mechanical Systems:
The Engine Room

The envelope defines how hard the mechanical system has to work. These systems define how efficiently it does the work. Both halves must be examined together.

Air Distribution

Duct leakage & static pressure mapping

Leaky ducts in unconditioned spaces routinely waste 20–30% of HVAC output before air reaches the zone.

avg. duct loss found

Boiler & Chiller Plant

Combustion efficiency & sequencing analysis

We measure stack temperature, O₂ levels, and part-load sequencing. A boiler running at 72% efficiency when 91% is achievable is a recoverable loss.

Controls & BAS

Setpoint drift, scheduling gaps, override audit

Occupied setpoints running 24/7. Economizer dampers stuck closed. Night-setback disabled. Controls failures are invisible on a utility bill — until we map them.

The Report:
Invisible Made Undeniable

Every finding is photographed, annotated, and mapped to a dollar figure. You'll see exactly where the heat escapes — in color, on a floor plan, with a recommended fix and a projected ROI.

"We'd been upgrading equipment for three years and our gas bill kept climbing. EnergyAudit walked the building in one day and found $94,000 in annual losses we'd never have found ourselves. The thermal images alone justified the audit fee."

What Happens Next

Three Steps from
Suspicion to Certainty

A

Pre-Audit Intake

15-minute call. We review your utility history, building age, and primary concern — whether that's a certification deadline, a failing system, or a bill that stopped making sense.

B

On-Site Walkthrough

4–8 hours on site with thermal cameras, blower door, combustion analyzers, and duct pressurization equipment. We work around your operations.

C

Diagnostic Report

Delivered within 48 hours. Every finding photographed, annotated, prioritized by ROI. A roadmap — not a list of problems.

Savings Guarantee

If we don't identify energy savings that exceed our audit fee, you pay nothing. We've never had to honor that guarantee — but it stands.

Schedule Your
Walkthrough

Audits are scheduled 3–4 weeks out. Buildings under 50,000 sq ft typically complete in a single day.
