ENERGY ASSESSMENTS: THEY'RE REALLY HELPFUL

Energy assessments (also called energy audits) are great tools to help you assess your operations, identify opportunities for efficiency, and prioritize those opportunities for implementation. 

The basics of energy assessments are here.

Energy assessments cost a minimal amount relative to their potential savings, with some facilities saving upwards of 30% of their utility costs by implementing assessment recommendations.

You can also do your own walkthrough:

  • What equipment is running, and when? How old is the equipment? Are there clear gaps around doors or windows? Does your attic (if there is one) have insulation?

  • If you know how old your key equipment is (HVAC, refrigeration, process equipment, etc.), make a basic plan for replacement, including basic efficiency features.
