<p dir="ltr">An effective approach to measuring energy usage during events can identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainability.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Start by identifying the energy sources and points of consumption. Identify ways to measure and monitor consumption by installing energy meters. Adopting an independent measuring consumption approach is beneficial because venues might change, but your system, technical setup, and equipment remain the same.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Track and collect data on energy consumption throughout the event. Keep the first data cycle as a baseline for future changes and improvement. This data is helpful in pinpointing areas of high energy usage and potential opportunities for optimization. It also offers a means to compare your energy usage against similar events and future events.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Measuring the energy usage enables you to calculate the energy intensity by dividing the total energy consumption by a relevant metric, for example, per attendee, per square footage, or by the hour. Maintaining a record of energy consumption is vital to evaluate the effectiveness of energy-saving measures, give valuable insights to the organizers and stakeholders, and showcase your commitment to energy management and sustainability.&nbsp;<strong><br></strong></p>
