The audit process identifies, at a minimum:
- All reasonable measures, including capital improvements, that could reduce energy use and/or the cost of building operations
- For each measure, the associated annual energy savings, the cost to implement, and the return on investment
- The building’s benchmarking output consistent with the EPA’s Portfolio Manager tool
- A breakdown of energy usage by system and the predicted energy savings after implementation of proposed measures
- A general assessment of how the major energy consuming equipment and systems used within tenant spaces impact the energy consumption of the base building systems
