• Key Concepts: 
  An energy audit is a process used to identify areas of energy waste and inefficiency in a facility. It is an important part of SAP Carbon Impact, a component of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) suite. The energy audit helps organizations identify areas where they can reduce their carbon footprint and save money on energy costs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The energy audit process begins with an assessment of the facility’s current energy usage. This includes an analysis of the building’s energy consumption patterns, as well as an evaluation of the efficiency of existing equipment and systems. Once the assessment is complete, the auditor will recommend changes that can be made to reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When conducting an energy audit, it is important to consider all aspects of the facility’s energy usage. This includes lighting, heating and cooling systems, ventilation systems, and any other equipment or systems that use energy. Additionally, it is important to consider any potential sources of renewable energy that may be available in the area.
