Comments

The MEMP approach to energy conservation is a simple and direct step-by-step approach. The first step is to understand where energy is being consumed and how much it costs, based on the utility bill analysis and audits. The second step identifies strategies for lowering energy costs. The third step assists in incorporating energy management into future development through an energy management plan.
