This energy efficiency checklist helps you systematically identify and address energy waste across your organization. Unlike general sustainability assessments, it focuses specifically on actionable energy-saving opportunities in lighting, HVAC, equipment usage, and building envelope. You can use this template to conduct regular energy audits, prioritize cost-effective improvements, and track implementation progress.

According to the Energy Saving Trust, space heating alone accounts for 49% of energy use in non-domestic buildings, making it a critical focus area for this checklist. We created this template to help you cut operational costs while meeting sustainability goals through a structured, methodical approach to energy management.
