Audits & Retro-Commissioning
Compressed Air Audits & Leak Detection
A compressed air system audit is a comprehensive evaluation that identifies opportunities to improve energy efficiency, system reliability, and overall performance. It includes an in-depth assessment of compressor sizing, controls, storage capacity, distribution, and end uses, along with data-logging key metrics like system pressures, airflow, and energy consumption. Separately, a leak detection audit helps pinpoint and quantify compressed air leaks, which can account for 20%-30% or more of system energy losses. Compressed air audits provide actionable recommendations for optimizing equipment, performing maintenance, and repairing leaks—ultimately reducing unnecessary energy use, lowering operating costs, and enhancing system stability.
Energy Audits & Energy Studies
Audits help you understand how energy is being used (and wasted) throughout your facility – the best first step in a “whole-building” approach to reducing your consumption and costs. Receive a rebate toward completing an ASHRAE Level 2 audit (the industry standard) or equivalent, plus a bonus for any conservation measures implemented as a result of the audit within the first two years of audit completion.
An energy study is typically performed after an audit and is intended to provide a more detailed analysis of a focused mechanical system or piece of equipment, such as a chiller system. Receive a rebate toward completing an ASHRAE Level 3 study (the industry standard) or equivalent, plus a bonus for any conservation measures implemented within the first two years after the study is completed. NOTE: energy studies must be approved by Hawaii Energy before execution to qualify.
Re-Commissioning and Retro-Commissioning
For optimum efficiency and performance, Hawaii Energy recommends periodically evaluating your current building systems through re/retro-commissioning. Earn a rebate toward a portion of the commissioning study cost, plus an additional amount based on actual energy savings and peak demand reduction.
