Austin Energy Single Family Audits

The Austin City Council approved the Energy Conservation Audit and Disclosure ordinance in 2008 and revised the initiative in April 2011 to improve the energy efficiency of homes and buildings that receive electricity from Austin Energy. Single-family homeowners must have energy audits performed on their properties prior to a sale of their home. Multifamily properties older than 10 years are required to perform an audit and report the results to the City of Austin and all residents living in those communities. Commercial building owners participated in a phased-in reporting since 2012, for buildings 75,000 square feet and larger.

奥斯汀市议会于2008年批准了能源节约审计与披露条例，并于2011年4月对该倡议进行了修订，旨在提升由奥斯汀能源供电的住宅和建筑物的能源效率。单户住宅所有者在出售其房产前必须对其物业进行能源审计。建于10年以上的多户住宅需进行审计，并将审计结果上报奥斯汀市及居住在这些社区的所有居民。自2012年起，商业建筑所有者参与了分阶段上报程序，适用于75,000平方英尺及以上的建筑。
