Energy Auditing One Stop Energy Services performs a comprehensive analysis of a building’s energy usage. To do this a number of tasks must be performed. These include modeling of the building’s energy usage, on-site evaluations of the building operations, determining the integrity of the building envelope, and logging of data to determine how the systems are operating. Each task helps create a detailed picture of the building’s operation and allows us to locate and quantify items that can be modified to reduce energy usage. At the end of the process a detailed report is developed that describes the opportunities to reduce energy usage in which each opportunity is quantified through a calculated return on investment. The report provides a comprehensive roadmap for the owner to determine what investments should be made to the building in the future. |
 Building Modeling Building simulation is the cornerstone in determining how changes in a buildings operation/equipment will effect energy usage. We develop a calibrated building model from engineering drawings, occupant interviews, and site investigations. After all the data is input numerous situations are run as Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM) to quantify the energy savings from upgrades and changes to the building. To accomplish this we utilize IES VE-Pro, Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) and the Department of Energy’s EQUEST Software suites. |

 On-site Inspection and Data Gathering |
Every building operates
differently depending on the integration between all the mechanical
and electrical systems, as well as how the occupants of the building
utilize it. By spending time observing the operation of the building
and talking with the building occupants we are able to locate areas
of energy loss that can not be modeled with software. Collection
of operational data through stand alone data gathering devices
provides insight into system operational deficiencies. Adjustment
of many items found from on-site visits have quick payback and
instantaneous effect. Our teams extensive field experience and
building knowledge allows them to locate these deficiencies and
provide guidance on how to remedy them.
