Energy Baseline: Your Strategic Compass for Sustainable Savings
What is an Energy Baseline? An energy baseline is, in essence, a historical record of your energy consumption under normal operating conditions. It provides a benchmark against which future energy performance can be measured. Think of it as a financial balance sheet for your energy usage, revealing patterns, identifying inefficiencies, and allowing you to quantify the impact of your energy-saving
