Executive Summary

This draft assessment reviews a complete 12-month utility baseline and owner-provided walkthrough evidence. Site EUI is 304.2 kBtu/sf/yr and annual utility cost is $45,590 [sample-utility-ledger]. Compared with the cited benchmark, site EUI is 715.6% above the reference [benchmark-reference]. Recommended actions are separated into no-cost and low-cost measures and capital measures.

Walkthrough Findings by System

Lighting (generic screen)

  • Opportunity: The synthetic inventory records 32 fluorescent fixtures in the customer and folding areas, with no daylight or occupancy controls. [sample-walkthrough]

HVAC controls (generic screen)

  • Opportunity: The synthetic thermostat schedule holds occupied setpoints for all 168 hours each week although the sample business is open 112 hours. [sample-walkthrough]

Building envelope (generic screen)

  • Follow Up: A visible gap is recorded at the rear service door; measure leakage before assigning savings. [sample-walkthrough]

Plug and process loads (generic screen)

  • Observed: Laundry equipment dominates the sample process load; two vending machines and the change system remain energized continuously. [sample-walkthrough]

Laundry equipment (segment screen)

  • Opportunity: Eight of 20 synthetic washer nameplates are more than 12 years old and are candidates for end-of-life high-efficiency replacement. [sample-walkthrough]

Dryer airflow (segment screen)

  • Follow Up: The sample lint-path inspection records partial restriction at two dryer-bank terminations; clean and measure cycle performance before claiming savings. [sample-walkthrough]

Domestic hot water (segment screen)

  • Observed: The fictional gas water heater is recorded at 82% thermal efficiency; 18 feet of accessible hot-water piping is uninsulated. [sample-walkthrough]

Recommended Measures

Screening ranges are not construction estimates. Site economics appear only where both implementation cost and annual cost savings have named sources.
