An energy audit is the first step to assess how much energy your company consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make your company's operations, factories and/or offices more energy efficient. An audit will show you problems that may, when corrected, save you significant amounts of money over time. During the audit, you can pinpoint where your business is losing energy. Audits also determine the efficiency of your office's heating and cooling systems. An audit may also show you ways to conserve hot water and electricity. Your company can perform a simple energy audit, or have SSC's energy auditors to carry out a more thorough audit. In this 60-minute presentation, you'll learn:

Evaluating your company's lighting systems to gauge level of efficiency
Evaluating your company's heating and air conditioning systems (i.e. insulation if possible)
Making an inventory of your company's appliances and equipment (computers, copiers, etc.) and their energy efficiency rating (how many watts are used per hour)
Interviewing employees to gauge their level of recycling and smart energy practices
