Commercial energy audits in Akron.
We audit Akron commercial buildings to find practical ways to cut energy use and guide sound upgrade plans.
Find the waste before you buy the upgrade.
Most commercial buildings are paying for energy they never use. A proper commercial energy audit puts numbers on it: where the waste is, what the fix costs, and what it returns. From there, efficiency consultants sequence the upgrades so the cheap wins pay for the big ones.
The audit also tells you when the answer is bigger than efficiency. High demand charges point at battery storage; aging equipment points at a mechanical replacement that pays back in utility savings. Either way, you decide with real numbers on the table.

What does an energy audit find in an Akron commercial building?
Commercial energy audits help Akron building teams find where energy is used and which changes deserve attention. We check the building envelope, lighting, HVAC controls, and key equipment, then give you a clear report with practical actions. The right audit depth depends on your next decision. A broad review can find simple operating changes. A Level 3 audit is a better fit when you need a close study of a costly upgrade. It may use computer models to test how a proposed change could affect building energy use.
Plan permits after the audit
An energy audit does not replace project permits. If the report leads to HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or structural changes, the project may need review by both Summit County and the City of Akron. Akron says projects must be submitted to both offices, and inspections must be scheduled 48 hours before work starts. This changes the project schedule: leave time for plan review, permits, and inspection before setting an install date.

What should an Akron commercial energy audit cover?
BEFORE YOU BUY
How should Akron facility teams prepare for an energy audit?
- List the building systems and process equipment that use energy; the list sets the inspection scope.
- Identify any energy measures already installed; prior upgrades can reduce the value of repeating the same review.
- Name the capital projects now under review; that record helps decide whether a targeted Level 3 audit is needed.
- Separate base building loads from manufacturing loads when both are present; the split changes which equipment receives detailed review.

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
What does Flux check during an Akron commercial energy audit?
We check the building envelope, lighting, HVAC controls, and key equipment. For industrial sites, we can also include manufacturing processes and equipment.
When does an Akron building need an ASHRAE Level 3 audit?
Level 3 fits when your team is studying a few high-cost energy measures and needs a closer test of feasibility and financial value.
Will the audit tell us what to do first?
The report should give clear actions tied to named systems. It should separate operating changes from capital projects and flag measures that need deeper study.
Does an Akron energy audit include project permits?
No. If an audit leads to HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or structural work, plans may need submission to Summit County and the City of Akron.
