An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy flows for energy conservation in a building, process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s).

An energy audit of a home may involve recording various characteristics of the building envelope including the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, and skylights. For each of these components the area and resistance to heat flow (R-value) is measured or estimated. The leakage rate or infiltration of air through the building envelope is of concern, both of which are strongly affected by window construction and quality of door seals such as weatherstripping. The goal of this exercise is to quantify the building's overall thermal performance. The audit may also assess the efficiency, physical condition, and programming of mechanical systems such as the heating, ventilation, air conditioning equipment, and thermostat.

A home energy audit may include a written report estimating energy use given local climate criteria, thermostat settings, roof overhang, and solar orientation. This could show energy use for a given time period, say a year, and the impact of any suggested improvements per year. The accuracy of energy estimates are greatly improved when the homeowner's billing history is available showing the quantities of electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, or other energy sources consumed over a one or two-year period.

Some of the greatest effects on energy use are user behavior, climate, and age of the home. An energy audit may therefore include an interview of the homeowners to understand their patterns of use over time. The energy billing history from the local utility company can be calibrated using heating degree day and cooling degree day data obtained from recent, local weather data in combination with the thermal energy model of the building. Advances in computer-based thermal modeling can take into account many variables affecting energy use.

Improve your competitive advantage through effective energy management.

Hydro One offers financial incentives to help businesses reduce electricity costs, improve processes and make operations as energy efficient as possible.

Funding is available for energy audits, retrofits, process and systems upgrades, chilled water system upgrades, high performance new construction and demand response participation. Review the programs below and then call us. We’re here to help.

For manufacturing or processing facilities

If you are involved in manufacturing,packaging or processing, energy can be a significant production cost. Motors are involved in many operations, so upgrading them can improve the efficiency of various systems, such as hydronics, machine drives, HVAC systems, air compressors and more.

Efficiency in processes

For industrial facilities, electricity accounts for the second-highest operating cost after labour. Finding efficiencies in your processes by installing automated controls, reducing your hours of operation or shifting your energy usage during times of peak demand can lead to significant bottom-line savings.

For large-scale operations

While there are many ways to reduce energy consumption, sometimes those that can save you the most energy dollars can only be spotted by an expert. For larger operations, an embedded energy manager can be an invaluable resource, working on-site to analyze and monitor processes and systems to identify your best opportunities to save energy.
