Commercial energy audits in Knoxville.
We audit energy use in Knoxville commercial buildings and show which changes need more study before owners approve funds.
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 a Knoxville commercial energy audit show?
Commercial energy audits help Knoxville building owners find energy waste and choose which fixes deserve money. We match the audit depth to the decision, from a basic walk-through to equipment tests and detailed project analysis. We check use patterns, HVAC controls, and key equipment. The result separates simple operating changes from larger upgrades. A basic audit is a poor fit when the owner needs firm cost and savings estimates for a major project.
Use local meter records first
KUB installed smart meters for many large commercial and industrial customers during its smart grid project. Its project also gave customers in the project area access to an enhanced web portal. If those records are available for your Knoxville building, we use them to see when energy use rises. That pattern can change which hours, controls, or equipment need closer testing. If the records are not available, we set the audit scope around the utility data the building can provide.

BEFORE YOU BUY
How should Knoxville owners use the audit report?
- Use Level 1 findings to choose clear operating changes that do not need detailed project modeling.
- Use Level 2 measurements and financial analysis to compare possible energy measures.
- Use Level 3 analysis when a high-cost measure needs a closer test of feasibility and economic value.
- Check planned changes against Knoxville's adopted construction, electrical, and energy codes before setting permit and design scope.
- Do not approve a major upgrade from a basic walk-through when the buying decision needs detailed cost and savings calculations.

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
Which audit level should a Knoxville commercial building choose?
Use Level 1 for a basic screen, Level 2 for measurements and financial review, and Level 3 for a focused, high-cost project decision.
Can KUB data help with a Knoxville energy audit?
Yes, when smart-meter or portal records are available. The data can show when use changes and help target operating hours, controls, or equipment.
Does a Knoxville energy audit include equipment testing?
A Level 2 audit can include energy measurements and equipment tests. A Level 1 walk-through is less detailed.
Can an audit report replace code or permit review in Knoxville?
No. Knoxville has adopted construction, electrical, and energy codes. Planned upgrades still need a separate check for the code and permit scope.
