Our building is in the process of trying to get an energy audit done.
First you need to find an engineering firm to partner up with (go to getenergysmart.org and look under "Multifamily Performance Program for Existing Buildings" for a list of participating firms); then you and the firm you are partnering with need to submit an application (downloadable at getenergysmart.org).
My understanding is that the co-op is expected to pay for half of the audit up front; then, if the building implements strategies/protocols recommended in the resulting report, the co-op will be reimbursed for the balance.
Hope this helps.
