Professional Energy Audit Services
for Commercial and Industrial Facilities

An energy audit typically ranges between 1% and 5% of your annual utility bill. Pricing varies based on your facility’s total floor area, system complexity, and whether you require an ASHRAE Level 1, 2, or 3 assessment. Since audits typically uncover 10% to 30% in energy cost reductions, the upfront cost is quickly offset by immediate and long-term utility savings.

The duration depends on facility size, complexity, audit level and data availability. Typical planning estimates for commercial buildings are:

• ASHRAE Level 1: 1–2 weeks
• ASHRAE Level 2: 3–6 weeks
• ASHRAE Level 3: 6–12 weeks or longer

These estimates cover assessment and reporting, not continuous on-site work. Complex facilities, extended measurements or delays in data access may increase the duration.

Energy savings depend on the facility’s current performance, operating practices and improvement opportunities. An audit identifies potential savings from HVAC optimization, equipment upgrades and control improvements.

Based on our experience, many facilities have the potential to reduce utility costs by 10–30% through the implementation of low-cost and medium-cost energy and water conservation measures. The actual savings depend on existing system performance, operating practices and the measures implemented.

Whether an energy audit is mandatory depends entirely on your facility’s location, building size, and industry sector. In Qatar, requirements may arise under KAHRAMAA/Tarsheed programmes; in the UAE, from specific local regulations; and in Saudi Arabia, from SEEC requirements. Bahrain may impose requirements under relevant energy-efficiency regulations, while India mandates audits for designated energy-intensive consumers.

An energy audit provides the exact utility baseline data (such as electricity, fuel, and water consumption) required to calculate, verify, and report Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. For example, GHG emissions reporting is legally required in the UAE for entities falling within its scope.

To begin an energy audit, provide the following information, where available:

• Utility bills: 12 months or more of electricity, fuel, water and district cooling consumption data.
• Facility details: Building type, floor area, occupancy and operating hours.
• Equipment information: HVAC systems, major energy-consuming equipment and operating schedules.
• Technical documents: Building drawings, equipment schedules and BMS data, where available.
• Previous records: Earlier energy audits, maintenance reports and planned upgrades.

This information helps establish the energy baseline, identify major energy-consuming systems and estimate associated carbon emissions. Additional data or on-site measurements may be required depending on the audit scope.

ASHRAE energy audits differ in the depth of investigation and financial analysis required.

• Level 1 – Preliminary Assessment: Reviews utility bills, energy-use patterns and facility operations to identify major energy-saving opportunities.
• Level 2 – Detailed Energy Audit: Includes detailed system assessments, appropriate measurements and cost-benefit analysis to estimate savings, implementation costs and payback periods.
• Level 3 – Detailed Engineering Analysis: Provides in-depth engineering analysis of major energy-saving projects to support significant capital investment decisions.

Yes. The energy audit findings can support green building certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, EDGE and GSAS, and reporting frameworks such as GRI, IFRS S1/S2, CDP and the GHG Protocol.

Conserve Solutions helps convert audit findings into measurable energy-efficiency improvements and sustainability performance indicators.

Yes. Conserve Solutions supports energy-efficiency implementation through technical recommendations, project coordination and performance assessment. Where included in the agreed scope, we also provide measurement and verification (M&V) to evaluate actual energy savings against established baselines.

This helps clients verify performance improvements, assess financial benefits and track progress towards energy and decarbonisation targets.

A commercial energy audit typically considers HVAC and cooling, lighting, electrical loads, motors and pumps, controls, operating schedules and applicable water or district-cooling use. A building energy audit may also review occupancy and comfort requirements; scope varies by asset.

Services typically include utility-data review, facility inspection, relevant system assessment, measurements when needed, conservation measures and a report with technical and financial recommendations. Exact inclusions depend on the agreed audit level and proposal.
