Ashrae energy audit level 2.
The building s energy consumption is broken down by end use helping to identify the areas with the greatest opportunities for improved efficiency.
The level 1 2 and 3 ashrae auditing standards focus on the identification of the potential for energy efficiency improvements understanding the overall building configuration and defining the type and nature of energy systems.
Includes more than 25 guideline forms plus access to the forms in spreadsheet format for easy customization.
Ashrae 2 defines three levels of audits.
Funding an energy audit the scope and level of detail of the energy audit can be a big driver in costs.
A level 2 audit includes the preliminary ashrae level 1 analysis but also includes more detailed energy calculations and financial analysis of proposed energy efficiency measures.
As audit complexity increases so does thoroughness of the site assessment.
If you spend 10 000 on an ashrae level 2 audit that finds energy savings potential of 5000 then you overpaid for the audit and probably should have gotten an ashrae level 1 audit.
The level 2 report details the opportunities to such a degree that actual decisions on implementation can be made and the leed eb credit can be realized.
The level 2 project starts with the findings of the level 1 audit and evaluates the building energy systems in detail to define a variety of potential energy efficiency improvements.
