This willincrease employability of youth in the domain of energy efficiency, climate change mitigation, and sustainability.
What is Home Energy Audit?
- A Home Energy Audit (HEA) enables appropriate accounting, quantification, verification, monitoring, and analysis of energy use of various energy-consuming equipment and appliances in a house and the submission of a technical report with feasible solutions and recommendations for improving energy efficiency, with a cost-benefit analysis and action plan to reduce energy consumption.
- This would ultimately lead to a reduction in energy bills and the carbon footprint of the consumer.
