Category CF (Incremental EER)

In some cases the target asset is best for a fast acquisition, followed by a step-by-step partial energy efficiency upgrade path.

An informal initial assessment can yield a list of recommended upgrade items. A pre-purchase plan for one or more of the following can estimate the benefits of the first best option.

< The list below is for illustration purposes, a comprehensive list can easily be created with more data, including projected energy efficiency gains, estimated cost savings and available incentives. There are often many service providers and various execution methods for each measure and these can also be added.>
