Appendix

This handbook is a valuable
collection of reference material related
to commercial energy auditing,
written for practicing energy professionals.
The main goal of this book
is to increase audit effectiveness so
that more audits become projects. It
includes proven solutions and practical
guidelines, as well as the essential
information needed for winning energy audits and projects.
The motivation for writing this book:
• Having accurate facts and figures in one convenient location will accelerate
the research phase of each audit while maintaining quality.
• The benefit of hands-on practical experience is found throughout
this book, including things that work and things to watch out for.
• Audit strategies that are tailored to each unique business sector are
more effective than general guidelines, and the first step is to learn
where the energy is used in the business.
• Automatic control systems are often underutilized and represent
untapped potential for savings. To leverage this technology, a separate
section provides specific automatic control applications.
• Quantifying savings is a skill that is essential for success, but one
that is treated lightly in many texts and so a section is devoted to
identifying the fundamentals at work and how to quantify them.
• Identifying maintenance activities that reduce energy use represent
immediate low cost savings opportunities for customers.
• The first step to reducing energy use in the commercial building
population is to encourage changes in how new buildings are built
and operated, and there is a section on this subject. By curbing the
energy use of new buildings, we can eventually catch up.
The measure of the book’s success will be its acceptance and use.
