The first step is to hire an energy specialist to help your Community League prioritize areas to reduce consumption. They will support you with an assessment of your utility use and cost, perform a site visit, and compile a report for your facility(ies) that will identify ways to lower your consumption and cost, an estimate of how much the work will cost, currently available economic incentives, and payback period and return on investment for each recommendation. We have seen Community Leagues reduce their overall energy use by up to 70% after hiring a professional! You can find several energy specialists that have experience working with Community Leagues on our Green Leagues Recommended Contractors list.
