Energy Audits
Commercial Energy Audits & Facility Inspections by Nexklima Inc.
Energy represents one of the single largest operating expenses for commercial real estate. Nexklima Inc. conducts certified, structured commercial energy audits to uncover hidden energy waste, evaluate thermal envelope efficiency, and prioritize facility upgrades that deliver measurable financial returns.
Our detailed energy assessments give building owners, asset managers, and facility directors a clear, data-driven roadmap to reduce utility costs, lower carbon emissions, and optimize mechanical system performance.
Comprehensive Energy Audit Levels
1. ASHRAE Level 1: Preliminary Energy Assessment (Walk-Through)
A targeted evaluation designed to establish building baseline performance and identify low-cost or no-cost energy conservation measures (ECMs).
- Historical utility bill analysis and load profiling
- Visual inspection of primary mechanical plants, lighting, and building envelope
- Prioritized summary of immediate operational savings opportunities
2. ASHRAE Level 2: Comprehensive Energy Survey & Analysis
A detailed diagnostic assessment providing precise energy breakdown figures, operational modeling, and financial payback calculations.
- On-site operational testing of HVAC equipment, boilers, chillers, and automation controls
- Thermal imaging thermography to detect air leaks, insulation voids, and thermal bridging
- In-depth economic feasibility reports with estimated capital costs and Return-On-Investment (ROI) metrics
3. ASHRAE Level 3: Investment-Grade Audit (IGA)
A rigorous engineering analysis tailored for major capital projects, deep energy retrofits, or project financing approvals.
- Continuous hourly energy simulation modeling using advanced building software
- Sub-metering diagnostics on high-draw mechanical and electrical loads
- Comprehensive risk analysis and guaranteed energy performance calculations
What Our Energy Audits Evaluate
- HVAC & Plant Efficiency: Chiller kW/ton ratios, boiler combustion efficiency, and distribution losses.
- Building Automation & Controls: Off-hours setback compliance, sensor calibration, and damper control schedules.
- Thermal Envelope: Window thermal ratings, roof insulation levels, and air infiltration points.
- Electrical & Lighting Systems: Baseline power draw, transformer losses, and fixture efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can a commercial building save through an energy audit?
Most commercial facilities identify immediate energy reduction opportunities between 10% and 30% following an energy audit, with many low-cost control adjustments paying for themselves within months.
Will an energy audit disrupt daily business operations?
No. Our energy engineering team conducts inspections efficiently alongside your existing maintenance staff, ensuring zero operational downtime or disruption to tenants.
