Tracking healthcare facilities' energy use

An energy audit involves an in-person evaluation of the facility by a third-party partner familiar with the demands of healthcare delivery and patient care. Audits can reveal a range of cost-saving opportunities.

A complete energy audit should provide a detailed list of untapped cost reduction opportunities, from quick fixes to longer-term retrofits and upgrades.
