Implementation of an Energy Audit

Many business owners, executives, and managers are happy to spend tens of thousands of dollars on energy efficiency advice. However, most don’t understand what’s involved, what to expect, and how to assess the recommendations in the audit. 

The energy audit becomes a gamble for many organizations that usually doesn’t pay off due to the lack of knowledge – resulting in a 50% chance that no energy-saving recommendations from the audit will be implemented. Our Commissioning, Managing, and Reviewing an Energy Audit remedies that.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to take the risk out of an energy audit
  • How to determine if you should undertake an energy audit
  • How to scope, commission and budget for an energy audit
  • Manage the undertaking of an energy audit
  • Review and assess an energy audits findings
  • Move ahead with implementation of the energy audit’s recommendations

Inconsistent + recording noise

The same question answered differently both provided an 'incorrect' result. A question mentioning a period of 12 months as the result when the video claimed 9 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not every situation calls for a full investment-grade audit. If your facility has relatively low energy costs, a walkthrough assessment may give you most of what you need. If you’re managing a large commercial or industrial facility with significant energy spend, a more comprehensive audit is likely justified. This course covers how to make that assessment so you don’t over- or under-invest in the process.

A quality energy audit report should include a clear baseline of current energy use, identified savings opportunities with supporting calculations, implementation cost estimates, projected savings, and a prioritised action plan. If the report you receive doesn’t include these elements — or if the savings estimates aren’t supported by data — this course will give you the tools to identify those gaps and ask the right questions.

The most common reasons are poor scoping, low-quality recommendations, savings estimates that don’t hold up to scrutiny, and a failure to engage decision-makers in the process. Roughly 50% of commercial and industrial energy audits result in no implementation at all. This course is specifically designed to address each of these failure points — so the audit you commission becomes an investment rather than an expense.

Managing an auditor well means staying engaged during the process, not just waiting for the final report. This course covers how to manage the undertaking of an audit in a way that keeps the work on track, ensures the auditor has access to the right data and people, and maximises the quality of what you get back — without consuming more of your time than necessary.

This course is Part 1 of the Investment Grade Energy Auditor (IGEA) certification program. The IGEA is a professional certification for auditors who conduct investment-grade energy audits to international standards. Taking this course as a facility manager or business owner gives you a clear picture of what a qualified IGEA auditor should deliver — which makes you a better-informed client when commissioning audits.
