Turn Utility Data Into Cost-Saving Decisions

The ASHRAE Level 2 energy audit is a comprehensive energy analysis that goes beyond surface-level data. At Eco Energy Solutions MN LLC, we deliver ASHRAE-compliant energy surveys designed to give Minnesota businesses a clear roadmap to cut energy costs, improve building efficiency, and plan sustainable upgrades with confidence.


This audit includes deeper utility analysis, equipment reviews, and cost-benefit evaluations—ideal for organizations looking to move beyond basic fixes and take real steps toward long-term efficiency and compliance.

What Is an ASHRAE Level 2 Audit?

The ASHRAE Level 2 – Energy Survey & Analysis is the industry-standard audit for most commercial and industrial buildings. It builds upon the visual inspection of a Level 1 audit by adding:


  • Detailed breakdown of utility usage

  • System-by-system performance evaluations

  • Identification and quantification of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs)

  • Estimated implementation costs and projected savings

  • Financial analysis including simple payback periods

  • Prioritized improvement recommendations

This audit is often used as the basis for capital planning, grant applications, and utility incentive submissions.
