Energy Auditing is the process whereby the energy usage of a building is identified and measured to determine the best options for energy conservation.
Through energy auditing organizations will have a better idea of how best to manage energy. Energy management helps to optimise the energy usage in a building and effectively reduces costs. This translates to cost savings between 15-30% annually.
Furthermore, funds saved from efficient energy usage can be channelled towards revenue generating activities such as marketing and advertising. In fact, you may think of the savings as an increase to overall profit.
How Blue Snow does itBlue Snow carries out its energy auditing through a systematic approach to identify how energy is being used in a building or plant. The standard used here is the ASHRAE Level 1,2 and 3 audit methodology.
Our well-trained professionals will carry out a ‘walk-through’ where they provide an in-depth analysis of the amount of energy consumed during a given period of time. Energy is measured by the use of electricity, gas, fuel, oil and steam for various processes in the building. We also provide Infrared Thermography services to find critical internal hot spots ( and external cool spots for Coldrooms and Freezers )
Based on the information gathered, our experts will then draft a list detailing the current energy usage and offer options on how to save and better manage energy within the building.
Blue Snow also follows strict guidelines based on the internationally recognized standards of LEED O+M (read more on LEED certification). With a LEED O+M certification, your building is recognized as a green building which runs efficiently using only minimal energy and provides an example of a well-managed structure that is aware of its environmental responsibilities.
