Energy Audits

At AESG Australia, we provide comprehensive Energy Audit services for buildings, estates, and portfolios to identify current energy performance and develop strategies to reduce carbon emissions and operational costs. Our experienced energy team delivers tailored solutions to help clients meet energy efficiency targets and comply with Australian regulations.

The Importance of Energy Audits in Australia

To achieve net zero carbon in the built environment, addressing emissions from existing buildings is crucial. Globally, buildings contribute significantly to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Energy audits play a key role in:

Energy Audits

Baseline Assessment

Understanding current energy performance to set benchmarks against industry standards.

Energy Audits

Regulatory Compliance

Meeting the requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) and state-specific energy efficiency standards.

Energy Audits

Cost Savings

Identifying opportunities for energy efficiency improvements that lower operational costs.

Energy Audits

Sustainability Goals

Supporting corporate sustainability objectives and carbon reduction commitments.

Our Approach

We conduct detailed energy audits following Australian Standards AS/NZS 3598:2014, covering buildings, industrial activities, and transport. By adopting a fabric-first approach, we prioritise improvements to the building envelope before considering mechanical and electrical systems. This ensures:

Energy Audits

Improved Energy Performance

Reducing energy consumption through efficient design and operation.

Energy Audits

Systematic Planning

Developing comprehensive retrofit strategies that deliver long-term results.

Energy Audits

Enhanced Comfort Conditions

Implementing solutions that improve indoor environmental quality, such as increased daylight and better thermal comfort.

Energy Audits

Accurate Measurement and Verification

Providing data to measure and report on the effectiveness of retrofit activities.
