Investment-Grade Audit (IGA) Energy and Carbon Analysis for Commercial Facilities
When your organization is preparing to make major energy investments or long-term infrastructure decisions, surface-level insights are no longer enough. A Level 3 Energy Audit is designed for facilities that want high-level confidence before moving forward. This audit is the most detailed analysis of energy use, emissions, and system performance we offer, allowing your organization to evaluate opportunities with precision.
Our Level 3 Energy Audit is intended for organizations that require detailed engineering analysis to support their capital planning plans, including large-scale upgrades and carbon-reduction strategies.
What is An Investment Grade Audit (IGA)?
An investment-grade audit or detailed analysis of capital-intensive modifications looks at the full picture of your building’s energy consumption and needs as well as considering the value of a full financial investment towards improving your energy footprint. This is the most intense level of an energy audit. The ASHRAE Level 3 Energy Audit will take into account the full scope of your energy problems and solutions as well as the large scale capital investment and financial analysis for capital intensive improvements.

When Would Your Organization Want A Level 3 Energy Audit
A Level 3 Energy Audit is commonly selected when a facility is planning significant investments or needs a defensible basis for decision-making. Clear data helps guide your decision making, and this level of audit not only shows where your current energy efficiency is at, but what you could do to improve and how those improvements would perform. When getting ready for significant system replacements or campus-wide upgrades, this is the best level of audit.
Hospitals, manufacturing facilities, wastewater treatment plants, large commercial buildings, and multi-building campuses frequently rely on Level 3 Energy Audits when energy decisions carry substantial financial, operational, or regulatory implications. In these situations, a higher level of accuracy and detail is essential to reduce risk and support stakeholder approval.
Which Structures Will Benefit From A Level 3 Energy Audit?
When a Level 3 Energy Audit is completed, organizations gain a detailed understanding of the financial and operational impacts of major energy infrastructure improvements.
Level 3 Energy Audit for Industrial Buildings
A Level 3 energy audit is especially helpful for industrial buildings that are getting ready to replace their equipment or make modifications to their infrastructure. This in-depth energy examination looks at how well the existing systems work and uses models to show how suggested changes will effect energy usage and operational costs over time. Get in contact with us for a Level 3 energy audit of your factory.
Level 3 Energy Audit for Commercial Buildings
Before making changes to the energy systems in large commercial buildings and campuses, you should perform a level 3 energy audit to prepare ahead. A Level 3 energy audit gives building owners a detailed look at their finances and how modifications will work before they buy new equipment. Call us for a Level 3 energy assessment of your business facility.
Level 3 Energy Audit for Manufacturing Buildings
Manufacturing buildings use complex machinery that consume large amounts of energy. A Level 3 energy audit takes an in-depth look at your existing systems and energy consumption. It takes that data to breakdown how much money it may save in the future. If you want a Level 3 energy audit of your factory, please contact us.
Objective of a Level 3 Energy Audit
A Level 3 Energy Audit focuses on delivering a comprehensive understanding of how energy systems perform today and how proposed improvements will perform over time. The goal is to provide detailed technical and financial analysis that supports confident investment decisions.
Typically, a Level 3 Energy Audit includes an evaluation of:
- In-depth utility usage analysis and system-level energy modeling
- Detailed performance assessment of HVAC, lighting, process loads, and supporting infrastructure
- Engineering-level evaluation of proposed energy and water conservation measures
- Carbon and emissions modeling tied to recommended improvements
- Refined cost estimates, savings projections, and return-on-investment analysis
- Long-term performance considerations and implementation planning factors
This audit level is designed to identify opportunities and provide the data needed to understand outcomes before investments are made.
