  • The top tier of audit work: ASHRAE Level III, where measures carry scopes, firm pricing, and enough analytical rigor to underwrite a performance contract. This is investment-grade, and the math is not optional. This engaging training course provides a comprehensive program to the principles, methods, and practices used to conduct investment grade energy audits. Participants will learn how to evaluate building and facility energy performance, identify energy conservation measures, estimate project costs and savings, and assess financial feasibility for energy-efficiency investments.


    • Build investment-grade baselines, including calibrated analysis where the project warrants it.
    • Develop ECMs with detailed scopes, firm pricing, and
    • interactive-effect analysis.
    • Quantify savings with the precision that financing and
    • performance contracts demand.
    • Address risk, measurement and verification, and savings
    • persistence inside the deliverable.
    • Produce audits robust enough to underwrite a contract.
    • Handle interactive impacts instead of double-counting savings.
    • Quantify and disclose uncertainty like a professional.
    • Stand behind every number under a lender's scrutiny.

  • You should be fully conversant in advance energy calculations and measurement & verification. Energy Auditing is assumed.

    For experienced auditors and engineers producing bid-ready, finance-grade work. Heavy math, standards, and jargon throughout; this course assumes real fluency.
