Description:
Energy efficiency is projected to be a $2.1 Trillion industry by 2030. Because Energy Audits are often the first step to determining if, what, and how new green energy projects should be implemented, audits are the means of gaining access to- and control of- this work. This two hour seminar outlines Comprehensive Facility Energy Auditing, how it can position NECA contractors as leaders in green energy skills, and why it is a key gateway to procuring energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
