LONG BEACH, CA · ENERGY
Commercial energy audits in Long Beach.
We audit energy use in Long Beach commercial buildings and turn utility, equipment, occupancy, and control findings into clear upgrade 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 a Long Beach building energy audit deliver?
Commercial energy audits show where a Long Beach building uses energy and which changes deserve a closer look. We check utility records, HVAC equipment, lighting, controls, occupancy, and building age. These factors can change energy use and the best upgrade choice. Our report links each finding to an action. It can flag control changes, maintenance needs, or equipment options. It also gives the owner a clear basis for choosing deeper analysis before funding a large project.
Match the audit to the buying decision
ASHRAE sets guidelines for Levels 1, 2, and 3 of audit effort. Level 3 is an investment-grade audit focused on a few selected energy efficiency measures. It may use computer models to study how proposed changes affect building energy use. Choose that depth only after the measures under review are clear. A Level 3 scope is a poor fit when the buyer has not yet selected the capital measures that need close feasibility and economic study.

BEFORE YOU BUY
How to choose an audit scope in Long Beach
- Use ASHRAE audit levels to state the expected depth before proposals are compared.
- Choose a Level 3 audit when selected energy efficiency measures need a closer feasibility and economic review.
- Require an actionable report that connects each finding to a named control, fixture, HVAC unit, or proposed measure.
- Ask whether whole-building or system computer modeling is needed for the selected measures under study.
- Do not buy a Level 3 scope when no specific capital measure has been selected for detailed study.

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
Can a Long Beach energy audit support permit planning?
Yes. The audit can name proposed equipment changes for review. The City of Long Beach Permit Center remains the place to confirm the permit path.
Does every Long Beach building need a Level 3 audit?
No. Level 3 is aimed at selected measures that need close feasibility and economic study. It is not a good fit when those measures are not yet defined.
What records should a commercial building provide?
Utility history helps us find energy-use trends and swings. Equipment, fixture, occupancy, and prior audit records help explain those changes.
Will Flux include possible utility program support?
The Long Beach Beacon record names an SCE Direct Install Program. We treat that as a reason to verify current fit, not as a promise of eligibility or funding.
