Energy Efficiency for Commercial Facilities
Air Barrier Testing, Thermographic Inspect, Construction Reviews & Audits
Our building science experts and engineers have decades of experience researching; analyzing and testing the performance of small and large buildings so you get the best performance and comfort possible in your facilities.
Benefits of Air Barrier Testing
- Identifies areas of air infiltration and leakage through the building envelope using a series of calibrated fans called blower doors
- Provides a verifiable measure and benchmark of your facilities' performance
Benefits of Thermographic Building Inspection
-
Provides infrared photographic documentation of your facilities' insulation integrity
-
Identifies areas of missing insulation in the building envelope and thermal bridging
Benefits of Construction/Design Reviews & Pre-Testing Inspections
- Ensures possible problem areas are addressed prior to construction and performance testing
- Prevents critical sequencing and installation issues that could affect performance testing results
- Ensure air and thermal barriers are installed properly
Energy Audits
Southern Energy offers different levels of energy audits and plan reviews for commercial buildings interested in evaluating their energy usage. Our Basic and Comprehensive Energy Audits will show commercial properties where energy can be reduced and how to lower operating expenses.
Basic Energy Audit
Our basic energy audit will show commercial properties where energy can be reduced and how to lower operating expenses. Our team will review moisture management and indoor environmental air quality along with the building's insulation and HVAC equipment. We will also make an assessments on the feasibility of integrating renewable energy systems and low/no cost energy conservation measures.
Comprehensive Energy Audit
A comprehensive energy audit builds on the foundation of the basic energy audit adding an in-depth analysis of energy use and overall sustainability goals and opportunities.
