This seminar will describe a step-by-step method to conduct an "energy efficiency expert evaluation," a customized process to meet site-specific energy goals. This approach combines the most effective features of an energy audit and retro-commissioning, while avoiding the limitations of each. Learn about a multi-disciplinary process to streamline site visit planning and on-site discovery, recommend corrective measures, establish a "master list of findings," and complete the project handoff.

Learning Objectives

By completing this course you will have a demonstrated knowledge of:

  • Establish key performance goals and assemble a well-qualified team during the planning phase;
  • Conduct a kick-off meeting and a site walk-through during the discovery phase;
  • Conduct inspections and tests, collect operational data and trends, trouble-shoot problems, and conduct O&M training during the correction phase; and
  • Prioritize a "short-list" of low-cost and no-cost opportunities and report all major results in a "Master List of Findings" during the hand-off phase.
