In today's economy, smart investing in energy efficiency has become an important topic for
both saving money and saving our environment. Clean energy includes energy efficiency
supply options like highly efficient combined heat and power as well as renewable energy
sources.

-------
EPA's Clean Energy Programs are working with state policy makers, electric and gas
utilities, energy customers, and other key stakeholders. By identifying, designing and
implementing clean energy policy and technology solutions, we are delivering important
environmental and economic benefits.
What is an Energy Audit and how can it help my company?

An Energy Audit is an analysis of a building which indicates how and where that building
can reduce energy consumption and save energy costs. The term energy audit is commonly
used to describe a broad spectrum of energy studies that can range from a quick walk-
through of a facility to identify major problem areas to a comprehensive analysis of the
implications of integrating alternative energy options into a manufacturing system.

Energy audits focus on how a business can reduce its' energy consumption while giving
equal attention to maintaining or improving overall comfort, safety, and health of their
employees. An audit will indicate the places where a business is losing energy and suggest
different ways that insulation, heating, and cooling systems could be made more efficient.

What are the federal energy efficiency and sustainability requirements for my
business?
