In many facilities, energy measurement ends at the outside meter. RMEM's energy audits focus on what happens after it: cost optimization, energy conservation, and improved operating practices — from low-cost/no-cost measures to capital projects, combining administrative review, onsite walk-through, metering and data logging, and technical analysis.
ASHRAE Level 2 audits and project-specific engineering studies with savings calculated against your actual utility rates — including demand and ratchet effects — not generic assumptions. Deliverables meet the requirements of utility incentive programs, and many utilities offer rebates covering a substantial share of study and project costs.
Scope: lighting, compressors, pumps, fans, drives, chillers, HVAC, controls, motors, peak load reduction, power quality — plus thermal efficiency.
Measurement & Verification
Pre-installation baselines from metering and interval data, post-installation measurement, and savings verification consistent with IPMVP options and utility M&V requirements — so results are defended, not assumed.
Utility Rebate Assistance
Many utilities rebate a substantial share of study and project costs. RMEM identifies program eligibility, performs the required analysis, and completes the documentation to capture the maximum incentive available.
Frequently asked questions
What is an ASHRAE Level 2 energy audit?
A detailed facility survey with utility bill and interval data analysis, identifying and quantifying efficiency measures with financial analysis of each — the standard required by most utility incentive and financing programs.
Do utilities pay for energy audits?
Many do — direct rebates for studies and projects are common, sometimes covering a substantial share of costs. RMEM handles eligibility, analysis, and documentation.
