Commercial Energy Audits That Show Where Your HVAC Budget Goes
Most commercial buildings waste 15–30% of their HVAC energy spend on inefficiencies they can’t see. A Circulating Air energy audit gives you the data — specific equipment, specific systems, specific dollars — so you can make decisions that actually move your operating costs.

The Problem
You Can't Fix What You Haven't Measured
HVAC is typically the single largest energy expense in a commercial building — 40% or more of total utility costs. But most facility managers are managing that expense blind. You see the monthly bill. You don’t see the aging compressor pulling 30% more power than it should, the economizer stuck in the wrong position, or the scheduling conflict running your system at full capacity in an empty building.
Without hard data, every efficiency decision is a guess. And in commercial HVAC, guesses are expensive.

What We Do
A Complete Picture of Your Building's HVAC Performance
Our commercial energy audits go beyond a walk-through with a clipboard. We combine equipment-level inspection with operational analysis and utility data review to identify exactly where energy is being wasted — and exactly what to do about it.
Equipment Efficiency Analysis
Operating performance vs. rated performance for every major HVAC unit, including age-adjusted benchmarking. Refrigerant system health — charge levels, superheat/subcooling, compressor performance, and leak indicators.
Controls and Scheduling Review
BAS programming, thermostat setpoints, occupied/unoccupied schedules, and override patterns. Economizer operation including free cooling utilization, damper function, enthalpy controls, and seasonal calibration.
Airflow and Distribution Testing
Duct integrity, zone balancing, damper operation, and ventilation rates measured against ASHRAE standards. Insulation condition, thermal bridging at penetrations, and HVAC load implications.
Utility Pattern Analysis
12–24 months of utility data reviewed for demand spikes, baseline drift, and seasonal anomalies. Every finding is quantified — we tell you what it’s costing you and what the fix returns.
Code and Compliance Review
Current equipment performance measured against Title 24 requirements and applicable local codes. Vendor-neutral recommendations for the most cost-effective path to efficiency.

How the Energy Audit Works
What to Expect
1
Scope and Scheduling
We review your building profile, utility history, and any known concerns to define the audit scope. Then we schedule the on-site work around your operations — minimal disruption.
2
On-Site Assessment
Our team inspects and tests every HVAC component in the audit scope. Depending on building size, this takes 1–3 days for most commercial properties.
3
Data Analysis
We compile equipment data, performance measurements, and utility patterns into a complete energy profile for your building’s HVAC systems.
4
Findings Report
Detailed written report with every finding documented — what we found, why it matters, what it’s costing you, and what we recommend. Prioritized by impact and cost-effectiveness.
5
Review and Implementation
Common Questions About Commercial Energy Audits
What facility managers ask before committing to an HVAC energy audit.
How long does a commercial energy audit take?
The on-site assessment typically takes 1–3 days depending on building size and system complexity. The full process — from scoping through final report delivery — usually runs 2–3 weeks. We schedule around your operations to minimize disruption.
How much does an energy audit cost?
Audit cost depends on building size, number of HVAC systems, and scope of analysis. We provide a detailed quote after an initial scoping conversation. In most cases, the audit identifies savings that pay back the audit cost within the first year of implementation.
What's the difference between an energy audit and a maintenance inspection?
Will the audit disrupt our building operations?
Minimally. Most assessment work happens at the equipment level — rooftops, mechanical rooms, control panels. We schedule any tests that could affect occupant comfort during off-hours or low-occupancy periods.
What kind of savings can we expect?
Can you implement the audit recommendations?
