Conducting an energy audit is the first step to upgrading a building, whether it be for energy efficiency, renewable energy, electrification, or battery storage. Thus, how many buildings we can upgrade is directly correlated with how many people who can conduct an energy audit.

Today, energy audits are performed by energy auditors who have many years of experience and a high technical expertise.

This has created many barriers to accelerating our transition to a clean energy economy.

1. Upfront cost is deters 90% of the commercial building stock
   
2. Geographically limited to urban areas
   
3. Lack of diversity in the service professionals
4. Small population of professionals
5. Slow ramp up for training new professionals
6. Inconsistent calculations, varying results, and missed opportunities

No matter how much money is available, the number of buildings upgraded will be limited by how many energy audits can be conducted.
