An energy audit is often the first step in energy consumption reduction. This interactive webcast will introduce green building professionals to the importance of conducting an energy audit to assess energy use and measures to implement for energy conservation. We will discuss the four levels of analysis, including: benchmarking, walk-through audit, detailed/general energy audit, and investment-grade audit. This course will also focus on how auditing can help identify cost-saving opportunities and prioritize improvements. An energy audit is an inexpensive yet powerful way to reduce costs and improve performance. Energy audits also are an important step to help meet greenhouse gas reduction goals. Finally, we will focus on the competitive positioning of energy auditing by touting successes and attracting and engaging more customers.
