C. Identifying Your Energy-Saving Opportunities

Once you determine your energy use baseline, you are ready to benchmark your buildings' energy performance, a process that will help you understand how your buildings are performing compared to similar buildings. Benchmarking historically has been a complicated process, but the online tools in this section will make this step much easier.

After benchmarking your buildings, energy audits will help you identify specific cost-effective energy projects that will reduce energy consumption and operating costs. Energy audits determine what equipment replacement or retrofits are required to meet your goal. This section also contains information on selecting an energy auditor, the various types of energy audits, what to expect in an energy audit, and steps you can take to ensure a successful audit.
