Solutions · Energy Audits & Retro-Commissioning

Find the waste. Fix what is already there. Then plan the rest.

Turn a benchmark score into a measure-by-measure plan, with the savings, cost, and payback to act on.

Backed by 10,125 buildings benchmarked and 8,000+ companies supported.
ASHRAE audit levels

Three depths. Distinct purposes.

Pick the level by what you need to decide. Most buildings sit at Level II, which is what most jurisdictions require for compliance.

Level I

Walk-Through

A high-level review of utility bills, building systems, and operations. Identifies low-cost and no-cost measures and flags candidates for deeper study. Best for first-time engagements and smaller assets.

Level III

Capital-Intensive Modifications

Rigorous engineering analysis for major capital decisions. Detailed measurement, energy modeling, and life-cycle cost analysis used to justify retrofit financing.

Retro-commissioning

Tune what you already own.

Retro-commissioning is a certified process that returns existing systems to the way they were meant to run. It investigates and functionally tests equipment, corrects control sequences, and verifies the result through measurement. Many jurisdictions pair an RCx requirement with their audit cycle.

  • Investigation and functional testing of existing systems
  • Sequence-of-operations corrections
  • Measurement and verification of the savings
Findings to action plan

A ranked plan, not a binder.

The largest dollar moves surface first.

What owners receive

Five tangible outputs from every Vert audit.

Capital project budgeting

Retrofit costs quantified at investment grade, so they enter next year's plan with confidence.

Energy savings calculations

Engineering-grade savings estimates calibrated against utility billing history.

O&M users guide

Operating procedures and maintenance tasks tied to each major piece of equipment.

Modernization roadmap

A multi-year capital path that maps each measure to a year, a budget, and an ROI.

Sustainability statement

Documentation owners can include in GRESB, CDP, and tenant communications.

Incentives

Rebates and credits that offset the work.

Utilities offer prescribed rebates with fixed per-unit values and custom rebates that require a calculated savings claim. Vert surfaces both during the audit and files them as part of the project, so the incentives that fund the upgrade are captured rather than left on the table.

Why Vert

Engineering depth, compliance-ready.

Audits are stamped by licensed professional engineers on staff, calibrated against a benchmark dataset most firms do not have, and formatted to file directly into ordinances like NYC LL87, BERDO, and Seattle.

One portfolio view

How audits and RCx connect to BPS and your 360°

Every solution feeds the same 360° Portfolio Risk Assessment, so what applies, what is at risk, and what to do next stay in one prioritized view rather than scattered across one-off filings.

  1. 1BPS readiness: audit findings confirm exactly what each building needs to meet its next performance threshold.
  2. 2Capital planning: the ranked action plan maps measures to years and budgets your finance team can underwrite.
  3. 3Verified savings: retro-commissioning proves the result, so the score the 360° tracks reflects real performance.
  4. 4Your 360°: audit and RCx outputs roll into one prioritized view alongside benchmarking and BPS exposure.
