ASHRAE Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3

The right level of audit for your project.

ASHRAE defines three levels of commercial energy audit. The level you need depends on your goals, the size of your facility, and which incentive programs you are applying for.

Most commercial and industrial energy projects begin with a Level 2 audit. It provides enough detail to scope the work, apply for incentives, and build the financial model — without the additional cost and time of a full investment-grade analysis.

One audit, five measures,{' '} $311,823 in annual savings.

A high-throughput distribution facility in the GTA. ASHRAE Level 2 assessment paired four building-side conservation measures with a rooftop solar feasibility study — sized, costed, and prioritised in a single capital plan.

Where savings come from

Annual cost savings, by conservation measure.

Solar PV anchors the savings stack; four building-side ECMs identified during the audit deliver the remaining $107,320 per year — paid for entirely by the avoided utility spend.

Power · Solar PV Conserve · Efficiency ECMs
Annual savings: Solar PV $204,503; RTUs VFD $54,641; Economiser $45,861; HVAC Setpoints $3,536; RTU Controller $3,282.
Savings reflect annual figures at project completion. Solar PV savings based on avoided grid purchases at current Ontario electricity rates. Green Integrations
