Who We Are

A Central Illinois energy audit firm built for buildings like yours.

What we do

AURA Insight Energy Solutions helps commercial buildings, warehouses, offices, schools, and churches across Illinois understand and reduce how much energy they use.

We don't sell equipment, and we don't take commissions from contractors. Our only product is independent analysis: where your energy goes, what it costs, and which improvements are actually worth doing. You get the findings; you decide what to act on.

  • Local. Based in Bloomington-Normal, serving Central Illinois.
  • Independent. Vendor-neutral recommendations. No equipment sales, no installer kickbacks.
  • Illinois-specific. Ameren rate structures, Illinois utility rebate programs, and federal §6417 Direct Pay for non-profits (30%+ cash back on qualifying clean-energy projects for churches, schools, and other tax-exempt organizations).
  • Methodical. Audit methodology informed by ASHRAE and AEE energy survey practices.

If You Want to Go Deeper

The free report tells you whether a full audit is worth it.

Most buildings only need the benchmark. When the numbers say there's more to find, these are the next steps, priced by building type and size and quoted up front.

Walk-Through Audit

Quoted up front · 1–2 weeks

On-site inspection with equipment inventory. Confirms the benchmark findings and puts names, quantities, and firmer numbers on each opportunity.

Detailed Energy Survey

Quoted up front · 2–4 weeks

Full load analysis, end-use breakdown, and quantified savings measures with financial modeling: the basis for budget requests and rebate applications.

Capital Planning Analysis

Quoted up front · 4–8 weeks

Investment-grade analysis for major decisions: renewables, electrification, multi-year capital roadmaps, and board-ready presentation materials.

No pressure and no expiration. The free benchmark stands on its own, whether or not you ever go further.
