Energy Audits that feed capital plans

Actionable input for decarbonization planning

An audit is data. Its job is to make your capital decisions defensible — to finance, to the board, to whoever is writing the cheque.

An Energy Audit (EA) is the data-collection stage of your building's capital cycle. Done right, it tells you where energy is going, what it costs to reduce energy consumption, and which interventions will pay back in years — not decades.

Done wrong, it becomes a report that lives in a shared drive and gets referenced at the next budget cycle as justification for doing nothing.

We do audits that get used.

What an energy audit produces

  • Ranked ECM List - Prioritized Energy Conservation Measures ordered by measurable outcomes and payback
  • Baseline Data - Energy use intensity benchmarked against comparable buildings and utility cost projections
  • Capital Integration - Data sets that directly feed your capital plan and support incentive applications

What does an SPG energy audit include?

SPG delivers Level 1, 2, and 3 energy audits that identify Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs), baseline energy use intensity (EUI), project costs, simple payback periods, utility cost projections, and data sets that feed capital plans and support incentive program applications.

How do energy audits support capital planning and decision-making?

SPG energy audits produce defensible capital data by providing ranked ECM lists, baseline benchmarking, cost estimates, and payback analysis—data that directly supports finance approvals, board presentations, and capital decision-making rather than becoming unused shelf documents.

Can you customize energy audits for different building types and objectives?

Yes, we tailor audit scope and ASHRAE level to your specific decision requirements. Whether you need early-stage portfolio screening, capital planning data, incentive application support, or investment-grade analysis for major decarbonization projects, we align the audit to your objectives.

Do your energy audits meet requirements for incentive funding programs?

Absolutely. SPG audits are formatted to fulfill requirements for Ecotrust Alberta, BOMA Enspire Retrofit Ready, Save on Energy, BC Hydro / FortisBC Continuous Optimization, CMHC, SaskPower, and other major Canadian incentive programs, delivering funding-ready documentation alongside actionable data.

What sets SPG energy audits apart from other providers?

SPG audits are distinguished by their integration into the Building Improvement Cycle, direct feed into capital planning and strategy development, combination with Building Condition Assessments for comprehensive asset intelligence, and focus on producing data that gets used—not reports that sit unused.

How quickly can I expect results from an energy audit?

Timeline depends on audit level and building complexity. Most Level 2 audits are completed with site visits, analysis, and reporting within 1.5 months. Results are immediately actionable for capital planning, incentive applications, and retrofit scoping as soon as the audit is delivered.
