Commercial energy audits in Winston-salem.
We audit energy use in Winston-Salem commercial buildings and give owners clear options for equipment, controls, and capital plans.
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 find in a Winston-Salem commercial building?
Commercial energy audits help Winston-Salem building owners find where equipment, controls, and operations may waste energy. We can assess facility support equipment, process equipment, or both. The right scope depends on the building and the detail needed for a buying decision. We use the findings to rank no-cost changes, equipment upgrades, and larger projects. A basic review can point to control issues. A deeper audit can test the cost and value of a planned capital project. If earlier audits were completed and the listed measures were installed, another broad audit may be a poor fit.
Match the audit to the decision
Choose the audit depth based on what you must decide. A Level 1 audit fits a first look for clear operating changes. A Level 2 audit supports a more detailed list of energy measures and capital options. A Level 3 audit is an investment-grade study for a few costly measures already under review. It may use computer models to test how a proposed change affects building energy use. A Level 3 audit is a poor fit when the team has not yet narrowed the project choices.

What records support commercial energy audits in Winston-Salem?
BEFORE YOU BUY
When Winston-Salem energy findings may affect permits
- Mark each recommendation as an operating change or a physical equipment project. That split shows which items may need permit review before work starts.
- For planned building, electrical, mechanical, or plumbing changes, confirm the permit path with the Winston-Salem Planning and Development Services Inspections Division.
- Keep the audit separate from permit approval. An energy finding can support a project choice, but the City-County agency reviews plans and issues the related permits.
- Schedule required inspections only after the relevant permit is issued and the project is ready. This affects the project schedule, not the audit date.

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
Who provides electricity in incorporated Winston-Salem?
Duke Energy is the electric provider in the incorporated Winston-Salem service area. We use the building’s electric records to set an energy-use starting point.
Can an audit cover process equipment?
Yes. The assessment can focus on facility support equipment, process equipment, or both. We set that scope before reviewing energy measures.
Does an energy audit replace a Winston-Salem permit review?
No. The audit supports a project decision. The local Inspections Division reviews plans and issues building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits.
When is a Level 3 audit a good fit?
It fits when a team is weighing a few high-cost energy measures and needs a closer test of feasibility and cost. It is not the right first step for a broad, open-ended review.
