Project Attestations and Affidavits

Certain states, cities, or programs may require affidavits to be completed before the submission of an audit report. These affidavits confirm that specific tasks have been completed in accordance with the program requirements, though the purpose and content of the affidavits may vary based on a program's reporting requirements.


Process for Completing the Affidavit

  1. Complete all required audit inputs for the building.
  2. Review all inputs for accuracy, resolve any items flagged with a warning icon.
  3. Read the affidavit language applicable to your state or program.
  4. Check the confirmation box to indicate agreement with the affidavit terms.
  5. Enter the name of the submitting individual to digitally sign.
  6. Save the form.


Note: Once the affidavit is signed and saved, it cannot be edited.


1. Audit Completion Affidavits

San Francisco and Berkeley reports require a confirmation of audit completion affidavit to be filed before submission.


Affidavit Language

I am filing this Confirmation of Energy Audit for the purpose of complying with San Francisco Environment Code Chapter 20 on behalf of the owner of the building cited above.

I affirm that the Energy Efficiency Audit of the above building summarized on this form meets or exceeds the Level of Effort indicated above, as described in the ASHRAE Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits (PCBEA) 2004 or subsequent.

I have delivered to the building owner a signed copy of the Energy Efficiency Audit report which meets or exceeds the reporting standards of the PCBEA, and includes: the date(s) that the audit was performed; a list of the retro-commissioning and retrofit measures available to the owner; and an estimate of the approximate energy savings, avoided energy cost, and costs to implement each measure consistent with the Level of Effort indicated above, and consistent with this confirmation of Energy Audit.


2. Feasibility Assessment Affidavits

Washington State reports require an affidavit for feasibility requirements regarding RERs and DERs based on ASHRAE 211-2018 requirements, before the submission of an audit report.


Affidavit Language

I, hereby affirm that I have conducted a qualitative overview assessment of the site's potential for Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and Renewable Energy Resources (RERs), including, where applicable, solar thermal systems for multifamily buildings, in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 211-2018, Section 5.4.5.4.

The assessment considered site-specific factors such as building orientation, shading, available equipment space, load profiles, and metering configuration.


(Requires selection of one option)

  • The building assessment did not identify any feasible DERs or RERs.
  • I have identified feasible technologies, which are included in the “Building Energy Savings Opportunities - Measures” table. I have evaluated the identified technology system size and configuration, including usable heat recovery assumptions for cogeneration systems.
