SYNOPSIS

Increasingly in the last several decades, industrial energy audits have exploded as the demand to lower increasingly expensive energy costs and move towards a sustainable future have made energy audits greatly important. Their importance is magnified since energy spending is a major expense to industrial companies (energy spending accounts for around 10% of the average manufacturer's expenses). This growing trend should only continue as energy costs continue to rise.

While the overall concept is like a home or residential energy audit, industrial energy audits require a different skillset. Weatherproofing and insulating a house are the focus of residential energy audits. For industrial applications, it is the HVAC, lighting, and production equipment that use the most energy, and hence are the primary focus of energy audits.
