Commercial energy audits in New Orleans.
We inspect energy use in New Orleans commercial buildings and give owners a clear list of changes to consider.
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 New Orleans commercial energy audit show?
A commercial energy audit shows where a New Orleans building uses energy and which changes deserve a closer look. We inspect the building, study energy flow, and break down current use and estimated annual cost. The right audit depth depends on the buyer’s goal. A simple Level 1 audit can find low-cost equipment adjustments. Level 2 can support broader capital planning. Level 3 is a focused, investment-grade study of a specific high-cost measure. We match the depth to the decision you need to make.
Check Energy Smart before approving upgrades
Entergy New Orleans runs Energy Smart for local electric customers, including businesses. The program offers expert guidance and cash incentives for some energy-saving measures. Before approving an upgrade found in the audit, confirm whether the building and measure may qualify. That check can change which project moves first and how its budget is set. An incentive should not replace the audit findings or the building’s own cost review.

BEFORE YOU BUY
How New Orleans buyers can compare audit findings
- Separate HVAC control changes from equipment replacement. Control changes may be low-cost, while replacement may need a capital budget.
- For each proposed measure, name the system affected and the expected change in energy use. Do not approve a vague recommendation.
- Use Level 1 findings for quick operating choices and Level 2 findings for wider capital planning.
- Reserve Level 3 analysis for a chosen high-cost measure that needs a closer feasibility and economic test.
- Send any project that may repair or alter the building through the proper New Orleans permit check before scheduling installation.

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
What can commercial energy audits find in New Orleans buildings?
They can show current energy use, estimated annual cost, energy flow, and possible equipment or operating changes.
Which audit level should our New Orleans facility choose?
Use Level 1 for simple adjustments, Level 2 for broader capital planning, and Level 3 for a focused review of a selected high-cost measure.
Does an energy audit mean a New Orleans permit is required?
Not by itself. If a finding leads to a repair or alteration, check city permit needs. Projects that require plans must pass plan review before permit issue.
Can a New Orleans business check for utility incentives after an audit?
Yes. Energy Smart serves Entergy New Orleans business customers and offers incentives for some energy-saving measures. Check eligibility before final approval.
