Energy audits on their own do not reduce energy usage; savings come when identified strategies are implemented. Applying cost‑effective improvements typically delivers a payback period ranging from six months to four years, depending on the measures adopted. The insights gained allow building owners to prioritize investments that reduce energy consumption, cut costs and improve sustainability.
Buildings have extensive direct and indirect impacts on the environment. Throughout construction, occupancy, renovation, repurposing and demolition, they consume energy, water and raw materials, generate waste and emit potentially harmful atmospheric emissions. These realities have driven the creation of green building standards, certifications and rating systems aimed at mitigating the environmental impact of buildings through sustainable design.
Key Control Points
The main control points assessed during a green building audit include:
Evaluating site selection and management practices to minimize environmental disruption.
Identifying opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce consumption.
Assessing the use of sustainable, low‑impact materials and efficient resource management.
Encouraging innovative solutions and best practices that enhance sustainability throughout design and construction.
