Energy Audits and Energy Conservation Principles

The Handbook of Energy Audits is written in a textbook format that makes it easy to follow and easy to find information you need without having to read the entire book. It is a comprehensive book that includes details for planning and conducting energy audits of a variety of facilities. The benchmark data on energy use (btu/sq ft) is very useful, but could be more detailed. This book is helpful to the person who needs to determine energy utilization and identify ways to conserve energy; however, it will not provide you with the information about your carbon footprint. With engineering knowledge one can take gather the information using these principles and then calculate the carbon footprint and other metrics for your busines.Taking Care of the Basics
