Commercial energy audit in Metro Detroit: what to expect
A commercial energy audit looks at how a building uses electricity and gas and where it can use less. It usually starts with utility bill analysis and a walk-through, and can go deeper into metering, HVAC controls, lighting, compressed air, refrigeration and building envelope. The result is a list of measures with estimated savings and payback.
Metro Detroit has many older masonry commercial buildings, light industrial sites and multifamily properties with aging boilers, rooftop units and controls. An audit is often the first step before applying for utility business incentives. For smaller rental homes, a home energy audit fits better; for an ongoing plan, see energy efficiency consulting.
What a proper job includes
- Review of at least a year of electric and gas bills
- On-site survey of HVAC, lighting, controls and envelope
- Interviews with facility staff about hours and problems
- Measures ranked by savings, cost and payback
- Identification of utility business incentives that may apply
- A written report suitable for budgeting and approvals
What drives the price
- Building size, type and number of meters
- Audit depth, from walk-through to detailed analysis
- Process loads such as compressed air or refrigeration
- Data logging and metering period
- Energy modeling for major upgrades
- Report requirements for lenders, owners or programs

Credentials and rebates in Michigan
Michigan does not license energy auditors. For commercial work, ask about engineering credentials and experience with buildings like yours, and make sure any upgrades are done by LARA-licensed mechanical and electrical contractors with the required permits (BSEED in Detroit).
DTE Energy runs an Energy Efficiency Program for Business, and Consumers Energy offers a small business energy assessment and business rebates. Programs change, so confirm eligibility with the utility. The federal 179D deduction is not allowed for property whose construction begins after June 30, 2026, so talk to a tax professional about timing.
