When answering this question, it's important to demonstrate your hands-on experience and systematic approach to conducting energy audits. Start by outlining the steps you take in an energy audit, such as data collection, site inspection, analysis, and reporting. Mention any specific methodologies or standards you follow, such as ASHRAE guidelines.
Next, discuss the tools and technologies you use. This could include software for energy modeling (like RETScreen or EnergyPlus), data loggers, thermal imaging cameras, and other diagnostic equipment. Provide examples of how you've used these tools in past projects to identify inefficiencies and recommend improvements.
Conclude by emphasizing the outcomes of your audits, such as energy savings, cost reductions, and sustainability improvements. This will show your ability to deliver tangible results. For example:
"In my previous role, I conducted comprehensive energy audits following ASHRAE Level 2 guidelines. I used RETScreen for energy modeling and FLIR thermal cameras for identifying heat losses. One audit led to a 15% reduction in energy consumption, saving the company $50,000 annually."
