Energy Audit Findings
20-08-2010
John Herbert
Director
The photograph below was taken 20 August 2010 during an energy audit of
a commercial building in Hong Kong.
Ok, it's not a very clear photograph because it was taken through a
vision panel.
But shows the lighting is "ON" in an unoccupied room, and the
door was locked, so we had no access to switch off the lighting.
The air conditioning was probably running too.
That was just one example of wasting money issues discovered
during the energy audit.
The energy audit is the first step, idendifying the issues, the next
step is implementing cost saving ideas to create the value and provide the
cost and carbon savings.
