Resource List of Energy Efficiency Information/ Regional Energy Audits for EPA Regions Nationwide Presented by: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Written by: Graduate Intern Sarah Wendel 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.
