Commercial energy audits in Honolulu.
We assess energy use, equipment, and upgrade options for commercial buildings in Honolulu.
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 Honolulu commercial building?
For Honolulu commercial buildings, an energy audit finds where equipment and controls may waste energy and which changes merit a closer look. We check building systems and document energy conservation measures for operating and capital plans. Audit depth should match the buyer’s decision. An ASHRAE Level 3 audit targets a small set of high-cost measures and may use computer models to test how proposed changes affect building energy use.
Check Hawai‘i Energy fit before the audit starts
Hawai‘i Energy requires program pre-approval before an eligible audit begins. Its offer may cover a whole building or one system when the program finds that scope cost-effective. Eligibility depends on conditioned space or annual electric use. The owner or operator must also allow facility access and provide management support for site visits and data requests. A building that cannot meet those access and support conditions is a poor fit for that program path.

BEFORE YOU BUY
What Flux checks during Honolulu commercial energy audits
- Check HVAC control settings for no-cost or low-cost measures; missed control issues can leave avoidable energy use in place.
- List each proposed energy conservation measure and its expected operating change; the list helps the buyer separate control changes from capital work.
- Name the professional audit guideline used in the final report; Hawai‘i Energy requires the audit conductor to identify the guideline followed.
- Check whether prior audit measures were completed; completed measures can reduce the value of repeating the same recommendations.
- Deliver the final audit report electronically when the project follows the Hawai‘i Energy program path.

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
Does a Honolulu energy audit need Hawai‘i Energy approval?
Only when the audit will use that program path. Hawai‘i Energy requires pre-approval before the audit process starts.
Can the audit cover one system instead of the whole building?
Yes. Hawai‘i Energy may accept a whole-building or system scope when it finds that scope cost-effective.
What credentials apply to the Hawai‘i Energy audit team?
The team must include an AEE Certified Energy Auditor or an ASHRAE Building Energy Assessment Professional.
Who reviews permits tied to an audit recommendation in Honolulu?
Honolulu’s Department of Planning and Permitting reviews commercial building permits. The Fire Department handles Fire Plans Review when that path applies.
