What Does a CEA Do?
Energy Auditors undertake energy efficiency assessments of large buildings and industrial facilities. Their audits cover building systems, occupancy, operations, maintenance, and code compliance. An auditor aims to provide their client with detailed survey results, risk mitigation analysis, implementation plans, and a final investment-grade analysis. Many auditors work to predefined codes and standards, such as the ASHRAE Standard 211-2018 for Commercial Building Energy Audits.
