FAQs about EAc2.1 :

To what degree is it necessary to follow the ASHRAE "Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits" document? Is this provided as a general guide or must it be followed precisely, using the ASHRAE forms and completing the audit using the ASHRAE methodo

Who can perform the ASHRAE Level II audit? Can it be done by someone in-house?

My building is already very efficient and has an Energy Star score over 90. (Or, it's small and has passive systems.) How do I know if I’ve identified enough capital improvement measures? Is there a minimum requirement for improvement measures?

What are the requirements for on-going Measurement and Verification (M&V)? How can our project meet this requirement without a BAS or sub-metering?

The Level II builds upon the Level I. It may be possible to perform a Level II analysis without a full Level I audit. However I think that after completing the Level II you will find that parts of the Level I have been completed. Additionally, the referenced standard that outlines the energy audit process provides the following note: "There are not sharp boundaries between these levels. They are general categories for identifying the type of information that can be expected and an indication of the level of confidence in the results. It is possible that while performing an energy analysis in a particular building, various measures may be subject to different levels of analysis."
