Commercial Energy Assessments and Consulting

Most commercial buildings consume 20-50% more energy than necessary.

The Go Green Squads is committed to changing that. Through our professional commercial assessment program, we provide a comprehensive report evaluating the energy efficiency of your current systems, specific recommendations for improvement and partnership in managing the implementation process. No business is too small or too large; we are equipped to handle projects from 2,000 to 200,000 sq. ft. Our goal is to find ways to help you lower your operating costs by at least 20% and improve the energy management of your facility.

Let us schedule an assessment to help you find energy savings:

Residential Energy Audits*

Did you know that Energy Audits are now required for all homes over ten years old sold in Austin?

An audit might be an even better idea if you’re staying in your home because you reap the benefits of reduced energy bills. In addition, you will improve the air quality, comfort and safety within your home. Plus you will reduce the social/environmental costs associated with your energy use, providing a great service to the community!

Go Green Squads offers a thorough inspection of energy flows in your home to identify waste in your residential heating and cooling systems, as well as doors, floors, ceilings, walls and windows.

Let us schedule an audit to determine the potential for home improvement:

Weatherization Services

Weatherization has become increasingly high-profile as the cost of home cooling and heating has risen.

The US Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)¹ was created in 1976 to help low-income families. WAP reaches across all fifty states and is sponsored in the Austin area by Austin Energy and Travis County. The goal of WAP is to assist low-income families in reducing energy bills through reduced energy consumption, and to decrease dependence on foreign oil by decreasing energy use.

In April 2010, Go Green Squads has was proud to announce its acceptance as one of only six companies certified to perform weatherization services for the Austin WAP under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) federal stimulus funds. We bring those same stringent green building and energy reduction practices to our local residential customers.

¹ The US Department of Energy estimates that over 6.2 million homes have been weatherized, saving 30.5 MBtu of energy per household each year. It estimates weatherization returns $2.69 for each dollar spent on the program, realized in energy and non-energy benefits. Families whose homes are weatherized are expected to save $358 on their first year’s utility bills.
