Office-Residential Facilities Energy Audits

This energy audit revealed recently completed work in the boiler room did not involve placing mechanical insulation on all applicable surfaces leading to system corrosion. Additionally, the audit discovered black mold growing in victaulic elbows and clamps in the chiller and mechanical rooms. Find out what was recommended for the government building in the downloadable energy audit.

The results of this energy audit showed damaged and missing mechanical insulation was causing the loss of 934 GJ of energy per year. Addressing the issues within the report will create an annual savings of $3,700. Details on this government building energy audit can be found by downloading the report.

This energy appraisal focused on mechanical rooms in 25 pre-selected facilities. Overall, approximately 3,500 items to correct or add were identified. The estimated total energy savings were approximately 6 billion BTUs per year with an estimated payback of 4.1 years and an annualized rate of return of 24 percent.

In one year, this building can recoup the cost to upgrade a portion of the building’s mechanical insulation system. By preventing the loss of 1,221 GJ of energy, an annualized savings of $4,885 will be realized. These upgrades will also prevent the yearly release of 60.6 Mt of CO2 emissions. Additional details about the government building’s energy audit can be found in the downloadable report.

While the quality of work to install the mechanical insulation inside the museum’s boiler room was good, some bad practices were followed. Addressing the issues within this audit will prevent the loss of 1,325 GJ of heat, while saving $5,300 per year. Upgrading Mechanical Insulation systems can be beneficial for all museums as they protect priceless materials. More details about the report are available in the energy audit.

This energy audit found the museum could save 759 GJ of energy per year, which would result in an annual savings of just over $3,000. The return on investment to implement all the suggested items is less than 2.5 years. More details about this museum’s savings can be found in the energy audit report.
