Virtual Energy Auditing
A virtual energy audit is an innovative approach to assessing energy efficiency in buildings without the need for physical presence. Even if you plan to visit a site, you can start the energy audit with the detailed information obtained from our virtual auditing tool, InverseAudit.
Why Virtual Audits Are Better
Virtual energy audits are safer, more cost-effective, and scalable than in-person audits. They reduce the risk of exposure to allergens, unpredictable pets, and on-site hazards, as well as viruses and other contagions. They also eliminate travel time and associated costs, reduce emissions, and avoid scheduling issues caused by traffic delays. Although free measure installations and blower door tests cannot be performed during virtual audits, they can be completed more quickly than in-person audits, often within one hour. Moreover, customers appreciate having an exact appointment time and find virtual audits more interactive and educational.
Our Virtual Audit Services Are Unique.
InverseAudit is a comprehensive energy auditing software for large commercial buildings. Our virtual energy audit service, powered by InverseAudit, provides quick turnaround times compared to traditional methods. Instead of relying on on-site assessments and as-built plans, we analyze hourly meter data or monthly bills.
InverseAudit is a uniquely consultative energy auditing solution that leverages the power of our proprietary algorithm to uncover the potential energy savings hidden in utility data. It helps you make better use of your high value resources and deliver actionable recommendations about existing conditions. With InverseAudit, get insights into the impact of every investment, large or small, and leverage utility data even without having to set foot on-site.
InverseAudit has recently introduced a new feature that transforms monthly utility bills into a live model. You can now experience the same benefits of InverseAudit with monthly data as you could with interval data. Whether using monthly bills or interval data, you can uncover efficiency opportunities and calculate paybacks at an end use level.
KEY BENEFITS
Accurate Benchmarking
The measurement of Energy Use Intensity (EUI) can be misleading. However, InverseAudit's calibrated baseline model provides In Operation and Asset Scores, which offer clear directives for improvement. These metrics serve as valuable benchmarks for energy efficiency targets in building tune-up and retrofit projects.
Real-Time Energy Modeling
Our platform seamlessly integrates calibrated baselines with energy efficiency measures, enabling rapid assessment of operational changes and retrofits through live energy models. This feature significantly streamlines the utilization of energy modeling in decision-making processes.
Actionable Insights from Existing Conditions
InverseAudit's ECM Explorer offers an intuitive, interactive tool for energy auditors to efficiently explore and evaluate potential energy-saving measures. Upon selection, the system automatically generates comprehensive energy audit reports.
Enhanced Collaboration
InverseAudit eliminates the need for physical documents or static PDFs. Our user-friendly software facilitate instant sharing of analyses with clients or team members, ensuring all stakeholders have immediate access to updated audit reports. This feature promotes unprecedented levels of collaboration and information dissemination in energy auditing.
