Oregon Commercial Audit

The Oregon Commercial Audit is a program for commercial and industrial customers located within Idaho Power’s Oregon service area. An Idaho Power representative or consultant for the company will provide a no-cost audit of your facility to help identify energy-saving opportunities. These areas could include operations and maintenance best practices, HVAC, lighting systems and building envelope. Customers will receive an official report of the audit results as well as proposed energy-savings if measures are implemented. Improvements and energy-saving measures can often be low or no cost to customers. These projects may also increase comfort, productivity and enhance the overall perception of your business.
