ABSTRACT

Low hanging fruit are the most cost-effective actions that can reduce energy use and costs. Saving calculations and energy use reduction should include the following: Energy walkthroughs are inexpensive and can produce excellent ideas on how to reduce energy use and consumption, providing the team members are experienced in doing energy audits and have facility maintenance and engineering experience. The walkthroughs or energy audits, the management/employees brainstorming sessions, energy conservation items and energy efficiency projects, implementing low hanging fruit items, and implementing energy centered maintenance are excellent ways to reduce energy waste in organization, business or university. Energy walkthroughs are investigations and analysis of facility energy use; it’s aimed to identify measures for energy reductions and savings in greenhouse gas emissions. Driving for less time is an example of energy conservation while driving a vehicle that gets more mileage per gallon is an example of energy efficiency.
