Energy Audit

An energy audit aims to identify energy saving opportunities in a home, office, factory or any other organisation. It looks at the energy use of all significant appliances to see where energy can be saved. It is important to do an energy audit so that the more efficient energy can be used more efficiently to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions and air pollution and to save money. Energy audits identify the most feasible and cost-effective energy efficiency measures.
