Energy Audits for Farm Operations
Waste Reduction Partners engineers can assist farming operations to identify energy efficiency opportunities and to better understand and manage utility costs.
WRP staff will conduct on-site assessments and provide a written report of recommendations. No-cost, low-cost, and capital investment projects will be outlined which will cut operating costs by improving energy-use management and water-use efficiency.
