An Energy Audit is a detailed evaluation determining how much energy a building uses, what factors contribute to that usage, and what can be done to reduce overall energy consumption. The data compiled during the audit is analyzed and the owner is given a prioritized plan of action that outlines how to move forward to make the building as energy efficient as possible. An Energy Audit can help you save money, increase comfort, and reduce your environmental impact.

If you’re paying the heat for a multi-family building, you will end up saving on energy costs. If your tenants are paying for the heat, you can distinguish your property from the competitors' by offering increased comfort and lower energy bills.
