Data-driven insights on
your lighting systems
A lighting audit is a systematic survey of your existing lighting system, in order to evaluate the potential for energy efficiency and illumination upgrades. While basic site assessments identify economical lighting upgrade opportunities and a basic roadmap of the project; extensive, investment-grade audits provide building owners with a detailed investment plan and energy efficiency goals, along with a long-term cost-benefit analysis. However, traditional lighting audit approaches are error-prone and result in data inaccuracies and costly delays in the process cycle. Mysupplier utilizes state-of-the-art software specifically developed to identify and acquire the luminaire attributes that are crucial to a successful specification.
The Lighting Audit process
The objective of a lighting audit is to identify the means to reduce energy consumption in a facility and provide actionable information to develop efficiency measures that lower the operating costs for any organization. Our investment-grade audits follow a streamlined process to collect all key attributes in a lighting system to give you comprehensive analysis and cost-effective lighting solutions for specification-grade projects.

Evaluate the purpose, scope, and schedule. Analyze utility data, energy efficiency & ROI targets, and rebate prospects.
The Site Survey
Visual inspection to identify opportunities, light levels, building occupants’ requirements, and collect site information.
Data Analysis
Evaluate space & fixture level data. Analyze energy, cost, and maintenance savings. Develop energy efficiency measures.
Upgrade Proposal
Present ROI analysis report with cash-flow analysis, lighting design, rebate estimation, and other calculation assumptions.
Cloud-based lighting
audit application
Utilizing our state-of-the-art cloud-based lighting audit application, our auditors gather comprehensive information on the lighting system accurately. Streamlining the workflow, the application enables our auditors to work faster, effectively, and efficiently, replacing long hours with a few clicks. The tablet-based application effectively manages our audits, capturing all significant attributes for a successful specification.
Ensuring data integrity
Preloaded floor plans integrated into our lighting audit application ensure that we don’t miss even a single room in our audits. In addition to the accuracy of our audit software, our qualified auditing team’s data review ensures the correctness and reliability of the data.
Space level audit
Space-level audit provides detailed information on space usage, lighting schedule, supply voltage, HVAC systems, voltage levels, ceiling type, etc. The data is transformed into retrievable, actionable information much needed during luminaire installation.
Luminaire level audit
Luminaire-level audit captures information on the lighting and control systems like application type, lamp technology, ballast information, etc. ensuring information availability for effective luminaire retrofit or a replacement specification.
Specification checklist
The in-built checklist ensures to collect every information on the lighting system by prompting auditors to add missing fields that are essential for a specification-grade project. Missing lamps in luminaires are also recorded to improve data accuracy.
On-site recommendations
The audit tool allows auditors to capture space and fixture-level images. Text and other multimedia recordings facilitate auditors to make on-site recommendations for post-audit specifications.
Qualified team of lighting auditors
Mysupplier’s qualified team of lighting auditors have performed ASHRAE level 1 and level 2 audits across the US and Canada. Our auditors are OSHA-certified professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of lighting efficiency and building energy codes.
