What Are Common Energy Inefficiencies in Office Buildings and Other Workspaces?

In North Vancouver, some of the most common energy inefficiencies we see include:

  • Operating aging HVAC systems with inadequate ventilation
  • Using outdated lighting without sensors or timers
  • Lacking building automation and energy monitoring tools
  • Relying on poor insulation and low-efficiency windows
  • Running equipment on inefficient schedules or controls
  • Drawing unnecessary power during off-hours and weekends

Is your building draining more energy than necessary? We’re here to help you solve this problem with an energy management solution tailored to your operation.

How Do You Reduce Commercial Energy Consumption?

Reducing commercial energy consumption starts with a strategic, data-informed approach. Our consultants begin by benchmarking your building’s current energy performance, comparing it to similar facilities to identify where improvements can be made. This involves analyzing historical energy use data, assessing utility bills, and looking for patterns that signal inefficiency.

Next, we focus on low-cost, high-impact upgrades, like:

  • LED lighting retrofits with occupancy sensors
  • HVAC scheduling, balancing, and upgrades
  • Smart building automation and controls
  • Plug-load management strategies
  • Envelope improvements like sealing and insulation

For businesses looking to go further, we develop customized energy conservation measures (ECMs) that align with your operational goals, budget, and building type. These can range from major equipment retrofits and variable speed drives (VSDs) to building electrification strategies that transition gas-powered systems to electric.

Whether your priority is lowering operating expenses, meeting carbon reduction goals, or improving indoor comfort for employees and customers, we’ll deliver a targeted energy management plan that provides lasting results.

What’s Involved in an Energy Audit on a Commercial Building?

A commercial energy audit includes a review of utility bills, on-site inspection of building systems, analysis of usage patterns, and a written report outlining recommendations, estimated savings, and available incentives.

Here’s what you can expect from our process:

1. Utility Bill Review

We begin by analyzing 12 to 24 months of your utility bills. This helps us identify trends, anomalies, peak demand charges, and seasonal fluctuations. By establishing your building’s baseline consumption and cost profile, we gain a clear starting point for improvement.

2. On-Site Building Inspection

Next, we conduct a detailed walk-through of your facility. We inspect HVAC systems, lighting, building automation controls, electrical panels, insulation, windows, and the overall building envelope. We also observe occupant behavior and equipment usage patterns to assess real-world operating conditions.

3. Commercial Energy Use Pattern Analysis

Using industry benchmarks, like ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager, we evaluate your building’s energy performance relative to similar facilities. Our technicians assess how occupancy schedules, weather conditions, and system loads influence energy use. This allows us to tailor conservation strategies that fit your operations.

4. Detailed Energy Audit Report

Once our evaluation is complete, we deliver a clear, data-driven report.

It includes:

  • A summary of identified performance issues and inefficiencies
  • A prioritized list of recommended upgrades and operational changes
  • An estimate of energy savings, payback periods, and return on investment (ROI)
  • A breakdown of available rebates and incentive programs, such as BC Hydro, CleanBC, and/or federal programs
  • A projection of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions
  • A customized roadmap for implementing next steps with clarity and confidence

Our audit report empowers you with actionable insights, whether you’re aiming to reduce costs, improve performance, or meet sustainability targets.

Can You Create Custom Energy Plans for Multi-Site Businesses?

Yes, we develop customized energy management plans for businesses with multiple locations and can unify strategies to maximize economies of scale.

What’s a Solar Storage Microgrid and Is It Worth It?

A solar-plus-storage microgrid allows your business to generate, store, and use its own electricity, cutting down your reliance on the grid, boosting your energy security, and helping you save on long-term costs. It’s a smart solution for businesses facing high utility rates, frequent power outages, or looking to meet sustainability goals.

Are you unsure if it’s the right fit? That’s where we come in. Our consultants take the time to understand your site’s energy use, assess solar potential, and explore available incentives. We’ll walk you through the numbers and help you weigh options so you can make a confident, informed decision.
