Utility Bill Audit & Energy Audit: What’s the Difference?

What is the difference between UTILITY BILL Audits & ENERGY Audits?

It’s quite simple: EXPENSE vs CONSUMPTION:

  • An ENERGY AUDIT involves an assessment of energy use and the efficiency of a company’s facilities and equipment to determine how the energy is being consumed. This may include an assessment of equipment, lights, heat and ventilation. Overall, this involves identifying energy-consuming equipment and pointing out areas where energy is being wasted. An ENERGY AUDIT is used to establish a benchmark of energy consumption. It’s an engineering approach used to focus on consumption, efficiency and ways to reduce energy consumption. The process involves site visits, designated staff to assist, process adjustments, and possibly capital expenditures.

  • A UTILITY BILL AUDIT is much different. It involves the review of a company’s utility bills. Asking, is the company getting the best price? Are they billed correctly or being overcharged? This in-depth review is an analysis of an organization’s utility invoices including electric, gas, water, sewer, waste, and even telecommunications. This is just the beginning of an audit, which may uncover over 30 additional but obscure discrepancies.

Why worry about either an Energy Audit or Utility Bill Audit? Combined together, both are likely going to save a company money. A Utility Bill Audit just doesn’t involve the time, manpower and business interruption that an energy audit may involve.
