Reasons and Steps To Energy Accounting

Before you can manage energy costs, you have to know what they are! Energy accounting provides feedback on how much energy your organization uses, and how much it costs. It also provides a means to effectively communicate energy data that facility staff, building occupants and managers can use to improve cost management. Energy accounting will help your organization:

- Record and attribute energy consumption and costs.
- Troubleshoot energy problems and billing errors.
- Provide a basis for prioritizing energy capital investments.
- Evaluate energy program success and communicate results.
- Create incentives for energy management.
- Budget more accurately.
- Position your organization to shop for lower prices for energy in a changing electricity market.
