What after?
Intro
An Energy Audit represents an overview of the
energy and water consumption of a building from
the collected and processed data related to the
consumption of all energy and water consumption
systems in order to assess the potential for
possible energy efficiency measures and
savings.
Intro
Energy Efficiency means reducing energy and
water consumption but keeping or improving the
working conditions, quality of service or
production process.
Intro
Reducing the energy and water consumption
costs leads to decreasing of the product / service
price and thus becoming more competitive on the
market.
