What is an energy auditIf you hear the word “audit” what is the first thing that comes to mind?
I’m guessing that when you think of audit you think of someone who comes and does an inspection to see if everything is in order, and as it should be.
For example, you might think of a safety audit – someone visiting a factory to ensure that it’s a safe workplace.
Yes, this is what an energy audit is, but its much more than this too!
