Energy Ratings & Retuning
Preliminary Energy Usage AnalysisBefore any level of energy analysis is begun, it is valuable to perform a preliminary energy usage analysis to determine a building’s current energy and cost efficiency relative to other, similar buildings. This is normally done by calculating the energy use and cost per square foot per year, which can indicate the potential value of further levels of analysis. This preliminary analysis generally includes the following steps:
LEVEL I - Walk-Through AnalysisThis process includes all of the work done for the preliminary energy use analysis, plus the following:
The report for a Level I analysis will include building characteristics and energy use summary as well as the following:
LEVEL II - Energy Survey & Engineering AnalysisThis analytical procedure is guided by the Level I Analysis and includes the following additional work:
The report for the Level II Analysis will contain, but is not limited to, the following:
- An outline of the measure, including its impact on occupant health, comfort, and safety - A description of any repairs that are required for a measure to be effective - The impact on occupant service capabilities, such as ventilation for late occupancy or year-round cooling - An outline of the impact on operating procedures, maintenance procedures, and costs - Expected life of new equipment & the impact on the life of existing equipment - An outline of new skills required in operating staff and training or hiring recommendations - Calculations performed or the name and version of software used, including both input & output data
LEVEL III - Detailed Analysis of Capital-Intensive ModificationsThis analytical procedure is guided by the Levels I & II analyses and the owner's selection of measures for greater definition.
The report for the Level III Analysis will contain, but is not limited to, the following:

Control Systems
Control systems are an essential componenent in an efficiently operating building. They are devices which, using various sensors (thermostats, occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, etc), control the mechanical and electrical systems in a building so that the occupants don't have to. These devices can be finely tuned to deliver optimal efficiency without sacrificing comfort.
Some examples of control systems in a commercial building include:
Easy Energy will analyze the control systems in a building and determine their functionality and efficiency. We will then develop a strategy to adjust, repair, replace, and/or implement new control systems as needed.
Some examples of control systems in a commercial building include:
- Occupancy and daylight controls for interior lighting
- Heating/Cooling economizers for temperature & humidity control
- Ventilation controls triggered by carbon monoxide levels
Easy Energy will analyze the control systems in a building and determine their functionality and efficiency. We will then develop a strategy to adjust, repair, replace, and/or implement new control systems as needed.
Energy Consulting & Facility Management
Operating a high energy performance building requires performance tools and knowledge. Easy Energy USA has these assets and efficiently monitors all mechanical and electrical systems in a building. We will develop an efficient regulation for you and your staff to follow, as well as forecast and adjust energy usage based on variables such as weather, building occupancy, and tariff rates. Measurement and verification protocols are implemented to ensure results.When the building and business are running efficiently, we will maintain and manage future energy upgrades so you are protected from scrupulous vendors and and unnecessary improvements, and implement the most efficient solutions to ensure your continued success. This continuous commissioning solution simplifies management of your energy assets.This platform works with any building to ensure optimal energy savings for all of our clients.
