Energy Audits

Stop guessing where your energy budget goes.

Unpredictable utility bills, aging systems and sustainability targets you can’t yet quantify – we give you the data, the analysis and a clear plan to move forward. No guesswork. No surprises.

You can't fix what you can't see.

Most facilities are losing money through inefficiencies that haven't been properly measured. Our licensed professionals and sustainability specialists conduct ASHRAE-standard energy audits that tell you exactly what's happening in your building and what to do about it. ASHRAE — the industry body for building systems engineering — developed a three-level audit framework that is the gold standard for commercial facilities.

We use it as our foundation and adapt it to fit your situation, your goals and what you actually need to know.

The right depth for your situation.

Not every building needs the same level of investigation. Here's how we think about it:

Building walkthrough assessment

Best for: quick wins and knowing where to look next. We survey your facility, walk the systems and identify where you're likely losing money. You come away with low-cost improvements you can act on immediately and a clear sense of where a deeper investigation would pay off.

Detailed energy use analysis

Best for: data-backed decisions and building a capital case. A full system-level analysis with detailed energy-use data, site investigation and prioritized recommendations with real cost figures attached. This is where most capital planning conversations start. We also flag anything that warrants a Level III deep dive.

Capital investment study

Best for: major projects, complex facilities and long-range planning. The most comprehensive analysis we offer. Component-level investigation, energy modeling and detailed cost projections give you everything you need to plan and defend significant capital investment. The result is a roadmap your leadership, board or finance team can stand behind.

Common challenges

Sound familiar?

These are the problems we hear most. If any of them resonate, an energy audit is probably your best next step.

Our utility costs keep going up and we don't know why.

We have aging systems but no idea which ones to prioritize.

We've made sustainability commitments and need a baseline.

We need hard numbers to justify capital investment to leadership.

We want to reduce our footprint but don't know where to start.

We've had audits before but never gotten actionable reporting.

Facility management and capital planning made simple.

Our FOScore® platform brings clarity and confidence in the decisions that shape your built environment. Simplify complex data into actionable insights, providing the information and analysis you need to understand your facilities, prioritize what’s needed most and plan with precision.

Key benefits

Walk away with answers, not just data.

Every FOS energy audit produces clear findings with prioritized recommendations and cost context — a genuine plan, not a binder full of numbers.

The case for investment

Detailed cost analysis and ROI projections give you the documentation to justify capital improvements to leadership and stakeholders.

A sustainability baseline

Know where you stand before you set targets. Our audits give you the credible starting point that meaningful reporting requires.

Immediate savings opportunities

Even a Level I audit surfaces low-cost and no-cost improvements you can implement right away — often while the study is still underway.

Credible, consistent methodology

ASHRAE-standard findings are recognized across the industry, which matters when benchmarking across sites or reporting to regulators.

People who know buildings

Our team holds professional licenses and has deep facilities experience. We've seen a lot of buildings. We know what to look for.

MARKETS WE SERVE

Specialized expertise across the industries we support.

Every industry faces unique operational pressures, facility challenges and long-term planning priorities.

PreK-12 Education

K12 districts must ensure students' health and close educational gaps. They should assess the physical environment and make long-term plans for a brighter future that serves all students.

Frequently asked questions

Have questions? We’re here to help.

How do I know which audit level is right for us?

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you want a quick read on where your biggest opportunities are, a Level I is a great start. If you're building a capital plan or need to justify a significant investment, a Level II or III is usually the right call. We'll help you figure it out in a short conversation — there's no obligation to commit to a scope before you're ready.

How long does an energy audit take?

A Level I for a single building can often be completed within a week or two. A Level III study for a large or complex facility may take several weeks. We give you a clear timeline before we begin so you can plan around it.

What do we need to do to prepare?

We'll walk you through the specifics before we arrive. Typically, we'll ask for utility billing history, any available equipment documentation and access to your mechanical spaces. We work around your operations and try to make the process as light-touch as possible on your team.

What does the final deliverable look like?

You get a clear, organized report with findings and prioritized recommendations — not just raw data. For Level II and III audits that includes detailed cost analysis and projections you can bring directly into capital planning conversations. We also walk you through the results together so nothing is left unclear.

Can you help us act on the recommendations?

Yes, and many clients engage us to do exactly that. We offer engineering services, capital planning support and project management to help you move from findings to implementation. We're set up to stay with you through the whole process.
