Planning reference only — no interactive calculator is available on this page.
Evaluating potential energy improvements starts with the building’s current performance and costs. This guide lists information to gather for an energy assessment.
Planning Information:
Information to gather for a professional assessment:
- Building size and use type
- Current roofing material and insulation rating (R-value)
- HVAC system type and efficiency
- Average monthly energy cost
- Regional climate zone
This page does not model energy use or calculate savings. Projected savings require a defined baseline, assessment method and relevant cost assumptions.
When This Guide May Help:
- Planning energy efficiency improvements
- Applying for green building incentives or tax credits
- Justifying upgrades to stakeholders or ownership groups
- Exploring cost savings for roof retrofits or restorations
