Episode 29 :: Getting the most out of the EECA Business website

The EECA Business website is designed to give hands-on practical advice and information to help companies of all types and sizes improve their energy use. Here's how to get the most out of it.

Get an action plan

EECA's experience shows that on average, most companies can save around 20% of energy - the first 10% through investment that will pay for itself in a year or less. Energy Leader is an interactive tool that gives you an action plan specific to your business. It covers technical advice - for example lighting, heating and equipment - as well as management issues.
