Audits will typically identify energy saving opportunities in the order of 10% minimum. Depending on the current state of your facility, its not uncommon to uncover larger saving measures of 30% or more on your electric bill.

In order to qualify for the DBJ grant, the entity applying must not be a startup, you must be a registered business owner.

The DBJ Energy Audit Grant application form needs to be filled out and completed. Details including the scope of work, a recent JPS bill copy and 1 years worth of billing data are to be provided.

The DBJ's Energy Audit Grant Program provides a grant of $200,000 to Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSME) to conduct an energy audit of their facility. This usually covers the full audit cost.

If cost of audit service exceeds $200,000 a letter of commitment is required from applicant committing to pay the excess.

The main purpose of an energy assessment is to determine where, when, why and how energy is used in a facility and to identify opportunities that improve efficiency.

The energy auditor will conduct a site visit and work closely with building owners, staff and other key participants throughout their respective organization to ensure accuracy of data collection and appropriateness of energy efficiency recommendations.

A formal report will be compiled to provide enough information needed for the entity to make informed decisions about the next steps to meet their energy savings and financial goals. Reports include an inventory of existing equipment, a summary of your building's current conditions and its energy use, and a list of recommended no-cost, low-cost, and longer-term Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM). Recommendations are based on analysis of historical energy use and the onsite assessment.
