Why does my school have to go through Oregon Department of Energy if it wants a Level III audit?
The Level III audit is a complex, and generally, expensive process. Ultimately, the SB 1149 funds are intended to implement energy conservation measures in the schools. The review by the Oregon Department of Energy is intended to be sure that the Level III audit is necessary, to assist in defining a scope of work for the audit and to avoid paying more for audits than is really necessary.
