Roofing Energy Audit
What is BEAT?
The BEAT auditor team was created to provide Roof energy auditing services to building owners and a business opportunity for those interested in becoming involved in the energy conservation conversation.
The BEAT Roofing Energy Audit incorporates a well known approach to roof energy auditing established in the 2010 under the guidance of the National Research Council of Canada and the roofing industry. Under BEAT, the original EC 128/ALCAP software has been modified to include the findings of the SIGDERS Research Group on Air Infiltration of Roofing Systems. The BEAT Energy Audit includes, ROI and Payback calculations and environmental impact analysis specific to the measures (things that need to be done) identified in the audit. The method and air leakage calculation have been reviewed and accepted by energy conservation leaders and utilities and is now an accepted method for determining potential rebates under the Federal Government Inflation Reduction Act 179D program.
BEAT audit methods and the updated calculations have been created by an industry leading team of experts including Dr. Randy Van Straaten, P.Eng. and President of Building Enclosure Labs, Inc., Michael Galello, President of Michael Galello Building Science, LLC and Tom Harris, President of Tom Harris PUR Consulting, LLC. Each individual brings years of technical and operational experience to BEAT.
BEAT seeks to educate and develop a nation wide team of trained Roofing auditors. By employing the KISS principle, we deliver employment opportunities to individuals and departments who want to participate in the energy conservation movement in a meaningful way, but who don’t want to be engineers.

Why Audit and Why Now?
Buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global CO2 emission.
Building operations are responsible for 28% annually.
We need to reduce the operational CO2 contribution from our existing buildings.
A good place to start is understanding the impacts and savings potential in our building envelopes.
A simple Roof Energy Audit can determine where the opportunities exist, the investment needed to fix them, and the ROI in both financial terms and environmental impact.
Many commercial/industrial/Institutional building owners lack real-time insight into energy use.
In commercial-Industrial- Institutional settings, energy costs may be monitored by only a few people or embedded in rental charges, reducing transparency and any incentive to reduce energy use.
The BEAT Roofing Energy Audit will identify the potential dollar savings and show you with real-time energy consumption charts. Roofing Audits are the first step and they present an opportunity for growth if you or your company is already in the energy conservation game. Become a member of the BEAT Team – join a community of trained, capable and dedicated roofing auditors in the Commercial / Industrial / Institutional space.
