Investing in energy-efficiencies and upgrades has many benefits that go beyond simply reducing operational costs. It future-proofs your investment and allows you to stay ahead of regulatory requirements. Through a comprehensive energy audit, you can acquire valuable insights into your building’s current energy usage, pinpoint areas that can be improved, and create a plan to enhance efficiency and decrease carbon emissions.

Meeting and exceeding industry standards – ASHRAE Standard 211-2018 (R2023)
CDW Engineering energy audits are designed to meet or exceed ASHRAE Standard 211-2018 (R2023), the gold standard for commercial building energy audits. This ensures that our audits adhere to best practices and deliver actionable insights for optimizing energy performance. By following industry-approved methodologies and protocols, we provide clients with a clear roadmap for achieving energy efficiency goals and reducing environmental impact.
The ASHRAE Standard 211-2018 defines the several levels of energy audits: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 energy audits. The higher the number, the more detail the audit report contains. The most common audit level is Level 2.
A comprehensive approach from analysis to action
Our energy audit process is designed to provide a holistic assessment of your building’s energy performance and identify opportunities for improvement. We start by analyzing historic energy usage data to establish baseline consumption patterns and identify areas of inefficiency. Next, we conduct on-site reviews to assess the condition and operation schedule of key building systems, such as HVAC, lighting, as well as assess insulation levels and relative air tightness in the building envelope. We then identify potential upgrades, repairs, and operational changes that can reduce energy consumption and operating costs while enhancing comfort and indoor air quality.
The value of our energy reports in informing decisions
One of the primary advantages of our energy audit services is the detailed reporting and analysis we provide to our clients. Our detailed reports cover the full auditing process, from data collection and analysis to recommendations and implementation strategies. We deliver clear, actionable insights based on your individual needs and goals, such as initial budget cost estimations, payback periods, and potential incentives from government and utility providers for energy-saving solutions. With our reports in hand, you’ll be able to make informed judgments and select investments that provide the best return.
Expert oversight to ensure quality and accuracy
At CDW Engineering, we prioritize quality and precision. All fieldwork and report writing are conducted by experienced technical personnel who specialize in building assessments and energy audits.
