<p dir="ltr">Measure your energy consumption is the crucial first step in effectively managing and optimizing energy usage, reducing cost, and minimizing environmental impact. However, this task can be challenging without a well-structured plan and strategy.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Developing a well-defined energy measurement strategy is critical for companies to track energy usage accurately, identify areas of improvement and monitor progress toward energy efficiency goals. Start by building an inventory of energy consumption points and identify those that can be measured effectively using existing devices and technology.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Choose appropriate tools and equipment to measure energy usage accurately. This may include energy meters, sub-meters, data loggers, smart meters, or energy management systems. Consider the level of detail required, compatibility with existing systems, and ease of data collection and analysis.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Gain a clear understanding of your current resources and capacity in measuring, tracking, collecting, analyzing, and reporting your energy consumption. This assessment will help you to build a roadmap toward having comprehensive measurement data from all the consumption points.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is essential to recognize that measuring your energy usage is an ongoing process that requires commitment, and continuous improvement.</p>
