Commercial energy audits in El Paso.
We perform commercial energy audits for El Paso buildings to guide equipment, control, and project decisions.
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.

Commercial energy audit planning for El Paso buildings
We perform commercial energy audits for El Paso buildings. We inspect building systems, review available operating information, and turn findings into clear next decisions. Our commercial energy audits help facility teams compare possible equipment, lighting, control, envelope, and refrigeration projects. We document what we find so owners can set scope, approve next steps, or prepare for a utility program conversation.
Plan around El Paso Electric project steps
For eligible large commercial customers in Texas, El Paso Electric describes a process that starts with program contact and enrollment, then project identification and incentive applications. Pre-inspection, project work, and post-project inspection are also part of that process. We can organize commercial energy audit findings into project options your team can use when deciding whether to pursue that path.
Utility planning
Commercial energy audits for El Paso utility project decisions
Customer demand status
ELIGIBILITY
Confirm whether the building is an El Paso Electric Texas large commercial customer with demand of 100 kW or more. That changes whether the Large Commercial Plus program may be relevant to project planning.
Project type
SCOPE
List the exact proposed measure, such as lighting, controls, HVAC upgrades, refrigeration, cool roofs, food service equipment, or envelope work. That changes which audit findings need separate project scope.
Program sequence
SEQUENCE
Decide whether a utility program conversation must happen before work begins. That changes the order of audit reporting, applications, inspections, and implementation.
PROJECT PLANNING

Utility bills and demand records
UTILITY
Provide available electric bills and demand information. These records change how we frame operating patterns and utility program eligibility questions.
Equipment list
SYSTEMS
Provide available HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, food service, roof, and envelope records. The list changes which systems receive project-level attention.
Planned capital projects
PRIORITIES

Share available schedules, control records, and known comfort or maintenance concerns. These details change the operating conditions we verify during the audit.
