- Abstract
- This report describes some simple methods by which the manager of a small business can analyze his energy use, determine the areas in which energy savings can be made, and estimate the magnitude of the possible cost savings. A check list suggests some seventy items which might be important cost saving opportunities to an individual business. Eight of these opportunities are expanded in the appendix into miniature case studies illustrating simple methods for estimating savings. A listing of sources of assistance is included as a guide to obtaining consulting advice.
