energy by intelligent systems!
Improvement starts with a decision about what to implement. In most cases an
energy audit is the first step. Generally, the next identified actions will be passive
measures to fix the basics such as replacing inefficient devices and repairing leaks.
Finally active measures for the optimisation and automation of systems are where
