As the price and demand for energy continue to escalate, energy audits provide building owners and operators the ability to make informed decisions regarding energy usage and potential improvements. Key elements that will be reviewed in the presentation include benchmarking, walk-through site visit procedures, data analysis, and typical findings. Additionally, an overview of several example improvement projects will be presented.
