Conducting an energy audit is the first step to upgrading a building, whether it be for energy efficiency, renewable energy, electrification, or battery storage.

Energy Audits by the Numbers

• More than 5,000,000 small commercial buildings in the U.S. -- that’s 90% of the total commercial building stock!
• ​To reach bipartisan climate goals, we need to conduct more than 25,000 energy audits per month. Estimates have the current rate at ~1,000/month, including large commercial buildings.
• Small commercial buildings account for ~50% of the energy use by the sector. According to data from the Department Of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, that's:
  • More energy than all but 14 countries produce
  • Enough energy to power more than 250 million homes. There are only ~139 million homes in the U.S.
  • Equivalent to carbon emissions emitted from 90 million passenger vehicles. That's about 1/3 of all the cars in America.

The Problems:
​Barries to Accelerating the
​Clean-Energy Transformation

The Solutions:
​Democratize the Energy Audit Sector

---

Quantity of Auditors: There are not enough energy auditors who can conduct energy audits in order to meet ambitious clean energy goals.
​-
Cost: Upfront cost deters 90% of the commercial building stock from pursuing energy audits and the subsequent upgrades.
-
Results May Vary: Inconsistent calculations produce varied results and result in missed opportunities for upgrades.
​-
Reach: Energy audits are geographically limited to urban areas. Rural areas lack qualified auditors.
-
Homogeneity: The energy audit sector lacks diversity and struggles to reach underserved communities.
-
Training Time: Extensive training and a high level of technical expertise is required.
