"Buildings account for 75 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in New York City, yet many property owners and managers do not know they can be a part of the solution and save money by making their buildings more energy efficient. This benchmarking report will help us understand where we can act most quickly to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve our PlaNYC goals." - Mayor Michael Bloomberg

What is an Energy Audit?
An Energy Audit is a comprehensive engineering study that focuses on building energy usage and provides the owners or co-op boards with the data to make informed decisions.

Following the benchmarking (Local Law 84), an energy audit will likely be performed to further assess a building's energy use profile and carbon footprint. Energy audits provide the client with the necessary data that determines the current energy use in the existing facility-and perhaps more importantly, identifies improvements that reduce energy use and environmental impact, and best of all, save money.
A typical energy audit includes common area lighting, heating systems and controls, domestic hot water, central cooling, elevators, ventilation, building control systems, windows, doors, roof, and insulation. Also, in-unit checks of appliances, lighting, thermostats, windows, air conditioning and low flow devices may be checked.

Example of retro-commissioning:
If you originally installed a boiler that was specified to be 75% energy efficient and your audit finds it's running at 55% efficiency, the retro-commissioning would repair the boiler to the original performance, as if it had been commissioned properly in the first place. That could mean cleaning pipes, or even replacing the boiler. The building pays for this, but there are many sources for financing, both public and private-and they are increasing all the time.
Retro-commissioning:
If building systems affecting energy efficiency are found to be defective or in need maintenance during an audit, they are retro-commissioned to restore them to their original optimal performance.
