DETROIT, MI · ENERGY
Commercial energy audits in Detroit.
We audit energy use in Detroit commercial buildings and turn the findings into clear operating and capital choices.
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 show Detroit building owners?
Commercial energy audits help Detroit commercial buildings find wasted electricity and natural gas, then rank changes by cost and value. We check building use, equipment operation, and energy records so buyers can choose between simple control changes and deeper capital study. The right audit level depends on the decision ahead. A Level 1 audit can identify basic no-cost changes. Level 2 or Level 3 analysis fits larger upgrades that need stronger cost and performance review. A Level 3 audit may use computer models to test a small set of high-cost measures.
Plan permits after the audit
An energy audit does not replace Detroit permit review. If the findings lead to construction or equipment changes, the project team must determine the needed permit before work starts. Detroit states that construction work cannot begin without a permit from the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department. The city says commercial permit review may take up to 20 business days. That lead time can change the project schedule and the order of approved upgrades.

BEFORE YOU BUY
How to prepare for a Detroit energy audit
- Provide electricity and natural gas records so we can establish the energy-use baseline.
- Provide the latest ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager record, if one exists, so benchmarking does not start from an incomplete history.
- List HVAC control changes already made so the audit does not treat completed adjustments as new measures.
- Share past audit reports and completion records so we can separate open findings from measures already installed.
- Name any high-cost measure under review so we can decide whether Level 3 analysis is needed.

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
What audit level should a Detroit commercial building choose?
Use Level 1 for basic operating opportunities, Level 2 for broader capital planning, and Level 3 for close study of a few high-cost measures.
Can an audit help with HVAC operating costs?
Yes. HVAC control issues can point to no-cost or low-cost operating changes before a commercial building buys new equipment.
Does a Detroit energy audit include a construction permit?
No. If audit findings lead to construction, the project team must determine the required Detroit permit before that work begins.
How can Detroit permit review affect an energy project schedule?
Detroit says review and permit issuance for commercial buildings may take up to 20 business days, so permitted upgrades need that lead time in the schedule.
