What is an energy auditor?

A career that supports environmental sustainability, an energy auditor closely monitors and inspects client property for energy consumption and waste. Because tracking information on energy consumption leads to awareness and response, energy auditors play a vital role in more efficient and sustainable energy usage practices. A career as an energy auditor requires you have some formal qualifications and education, typically a bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction, or a field with coursework closely related to green energy and conservation. You should have strong communications skills, thorough knowledge of regulatory requirements, and the ability to stoop, crawl, and enter confined spaces as part of your job duties.
