Baseline Energy Audit

Start with understanding, not equipment.

Baseline energy audit guide

Before buying new equipment, understand what your building is already doing. This guide outlines a practical baseline process sized for small and mid-size commercial properties.

Step 1 — Gather utility data

Collect 12 months of electric and gas bills. Note rate changes and any known equipment replacements.

Step 2 — Map major systems

Identify HVAC, lighting, plug loads, and domestic hot water. Document control types and schedules.

Step 3 — Spot-check runtime

Log after-hours operation for one week. Simultaneous heating and cooling is a common red flag.

Step 4 — Prioritize actions

Start with scheduling fixes and setpoint adjustments before capital projects.
