A Recommended Approach
To lock in energy savings and review your progress regularly, we recommend a cycle of
continuous improvement:

How the Benchmarking Quiz Works
Simply answer YES or NO indicating whether you agree to a series of statements.
Answer:
YES – if you're completely comfortable with the statement
NO – if you don't currently do what's stated, are unsure, or have room for improvement
N/A – if the statement doesn't apply to your business (e.g., you don't have a boiler)
You'll assess five categories with five statements in each. Then you'll receive a report rating your performance in each of several energy management areas. Scores can range for 1 (minimum) to 4 (maximum).
