Readiness check

Is your energy program cutting waste or guessing at it?

An energy program works when it starts with the data, captures the free operational savings first, and proves the results, instead of jumping to capital and hoping. Answer for how your building's energy is actually managed. This is general guidance; confirm with ASHRAE and your utility program. The score stays on your device; enter an email only if you want the energy audit checklist sent over.

1. Do you benchmark the building's energy use intensity against similar buildings before acting?Yes, EUI benchmarked against peersWe look at bills but do not benchmarkNo benchmarking

2. Do you analyze 12+ months of utility bills (energy, demand, rate) before the walk-through?Yes, the data comes before the walkWe glance at recent billsWe just walk the building

3. Is the audit matched to the decision (Level 1 walkthrough vs Level 2 detailed vs Level 3 investment-grade)?Yes, the audit level fits the decisionOne generic auditNo structured audit

4. Do you capture the free and low-cost operational fixes (schedules, setpoints, controls) first?Yes, operational savings before capitalWe jump toward equipmentWe chase capital projects only

5. Are the energy conservation measures ranked by payback?Yes, a payback-ranked ECM listA list, not really rankedNo prioritization

6. Do you submeter or log data so you know which systems use the energy?Yes, submetering or logging by systemWhole-building onlyNo measurement detail

7. Do you prove savings with measurement and verification (a baseline and post-install)?Yes, M&V proves the avoided energyWe assume the savingsNo M&V

8. Do you monitor so the savings persist (setpoints and controls do not drift back)?Yes, ongoing monitoring holds the savingsWe fix it and move onSavings fade and we do not notice
