    Handbook of Energy Audits
    (Taylor & Francis, 2010) Albert Thumann; William J. Younger; Terry Niehus
    As a result of changes in the energy marketplace, the role of energy audits has greatly expanded. There is an increasing need in business and industry to more effectively manage energy use. Reducing utility costs is still one of the most effective and achievable strategies for lowering the operating costs. Today, many large energy consumers are contracting with energy service providers to implement energy projects. This arrangement necessitates the establishing of baseline energy usage as well as quantification of savings resulting from project implementation. Accurate and complete energy audits are essential as a means to assess and verify a project’s success at meeting contracted goals. This book is designed to provide you with the fundamental knowledge you need to evaluate how energy is used in commercial facilities, establish accurate baseline information, and identify where energy consumption can be reduced.
