Building energy audits identify system and operational inefficiencies, and strategically recommend retrofit options to enhance the resiliency and performance of buildings. Conducting a building energy audit typically involves hiring an engineering consultant or energy service company that uses proprietary data collection tools or templates. This approach can be costly, cumbersome, and difficult to scale across a large number of buildings.
This website is an educational resource to learn how to conduct a professional-level building energy audit. We've pulled from our expert engineering staff at UC Davis Facilities to give students and staff at universities, military bases, and K-12 educational facilities tailored content that will educate and empower them to audit their own small and medium-sized buildings.
