Commercial energy audits in Durham.
We perform commercial energy audits for Durham buildings and identify practical changes to equipment, controls, and capital 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 show for a Durham commercial building?
Commercial energy audits in Durham show where a commercial building uses energy and which changes deserve attention. We assess facility support equipment, process equipment, and operating controls. The depth depends on the building and the buyer’s decision. A basic audit can find simple equipment adjustments. A deeper audit can support capital planning. ASHRAE Standard 211 sets common practices for commercial audit work and reports. We match the audit depth to the decision so the findings are useful.
Confirm the utility account before the audit
North Carolina assigns electric service by territory. A Durham parcel’s location therefore affects which provider serves it. Before the audit, we confirm the service address, provider, account records, and meters tied to the building. This prevents records from the wrong account or site from entering the review. For a multi-site portfolio, we separate each Durham property by provider and meter. That changes how we compare use, track later results, and plan energy purchases.

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
What can a commercial energy audit examine in a Durham facility?
It can examine facility support equipment, process equipment, HVAC controls, past audit actions, and selected capital measures.
Does every Durham building need an ASHRAE Level 3 audit?
No. Level 3 is aimed at a few selected, high-cost measures that need detailed feasibility and economic analysis.
Why does the Durham service address matter?
Electric service is assigned by territory in North Carolina. The parcel location identifies the provider and the account records needed for the audit.
Who handles permit or fire code questions after a Durham audit?
The property address determines whether the City of Durham or Durham County team handles fire prevention and life-safety questions.
