After completing the walk-thru, the registrants will complete the various Energy Audit forms, define an energy intensity target, conduct preliminary energy audit calculations, prioritize identified energy conservation measures and prepare an outline Level 1 Energy Audit Report.

The second activity will be completing the various forms, worksheets and charts for bEQ submittal of the City of Milwaukee facility.

The final activity for the registrants will be the completion of a seminar assessment questionnaire.

Please register soon. Seats are limited.
