RA 11285 Energy Audit for Philippine Designated Establishments
Your audit is a legal obligation. We make it a profit center. Greencon delivers DOE-ready RA 11285 energy audits to ASHRAE Level 1 and 2 standards — then hands you a costed roadmap to cut the single largest controllable line on your P&L.
What RA 11285 Requires
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (RA 11285) places ongoing legal obligations on facilities classified as Designated Establishments. If your business crosses the energy-consumption thresholds set by the Department of Energy, you are required to conduct a periodic energy audit, file annual consumption reports, and, depending on your classification, designate qualified energy management personnel.
These aren't one-time tasks. The audit cycle repeats, the annual filing recurs every year on or before its deadline, and enforcement has been tightening. The cost of treating compliance as an afterthought ranges from administrative fines to far more expensive operational and reputational exposure.
Most facilities discover they qualify as a Designated Establishment only after a deadline is already close. The first job of an audit partner is to clarify exactly where you stand — your classification, your obligations, and your timeline — before any fieldwork begins.
Our ASHRAE Level 1 & 2 Audit Process
We run engagements as a structured, four-stage pathway so you always know what's happening and what comes next.
- Scope. We define your operational boundaries, confirm your facility classification, and put the right confidentiality protections (NDAs) in place before anyone touches your data.
- Audit & assess. Our team gathers thermal and electrical data on-site, reviews your metering and system telemetry, and benchmarks your consumption against your baseline. A Level 1 audit identifies the obvious efficiency opportunities through a structured walk-through; a Level 2 audit layers in detailed measurement and analysis so the savings we propose are defensible enough to support capital decisions.
- Report & roadmap. You receive the DOE-required documentation alongside a prioritized, costed roadmap of efficiency measures — ranked by payback, not by how impressive they sound.
- Implement & verify. Where you want us to, we help deploy the measures and verify realized savings in production, so the numbers on the roadmap become numbers on your utility bill.
Your DOE-Ready Report & Savings Roadmap
Every engagement produces two deliverables that do two different jobs.
The first keeps you legal: a complete, DOE-ready audit report and the supporting documentation you need to satisfy your RA 11285 filing obligations. The second makes you money: a roadmap of efficiency measures with estimated costs, expected savings, and payback periods, ordered so you can act on the highest-return items first.
This is the core of our approach — compliance and savings come out of a single engagement, so the money you're legally required to spend on an audit does double duty as an investment in lower operating costs.
Audit Deadlines & Penalties
Two clocks are always running for a Designated Establishment: the recurring audit cycle and the annual consumption-report filing deadline. Missing either can expose your organization to administrative fines and escalating liabilities, and the Department of Energy has signaled stricter enforcement.
Because exact thresholds, deadlines, and penalty amounts are subject to active modification by DOE circulars, the single most valuable thing you can do today is confirm your current obligations rather than rely on last year's understanding. We'll map your specific deadlines as the first step of any engagement.
Note: RA 11285 consumption thresholds, audit deadlines, and penalties are summarized here for guidance and are subject to change. Verify current requirements directly with the Department of Energy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often is an RA 11285 energy audit required?
Designated Establishments are required to undergo a periodic energy audit on the cycle defined by the DOE and to file an energy consumption report annually. We confirm your exact cycle and next filing date during scoping.
How do I know if my facility is a Designated Establishment?
Classification depends on your energy consumption relative to DOE thresholds. Our quick assessment walks you through the criteria and gives you a clear answer before you commit to anything.
What's the difference between an ASHRAE Level 1 and Level 2 audit?
A Level 1 audit is a walk-through that surfaces obvious opportunities; a Level 2 audit adds detailed measurement and financial analysis to support capital planning. We'll recommend the right level for your facility and obligations.
Can the audit actually save us money, not just keep us compliant?
That's the entire point of our model. Alongside the compliance report, you get a costed roadmap targeting your largest controllable energy costs — many clients treat the audit as a cost-reduction project that happens to satisfy a legal requirement.
