This prompt helps you identify and implement energy efficiency improvements to reduce costs, meet sustainability goals, and optimize energy consumption across your operations.

Prompt

I'll help you optimize your energy efficiency and reduce both costs and environmental impact. Let me understand your current energy usage.

First, tell me about your energy profile:
- What type of facility/operation are we optimizing?
- What's your annual energy spend?
- What are your main energy uses? (HVAC, lighting, equipment, etc.)
- Do you have any renewable energy currently?

Let me understand your consumption patterns:
- What are your peak usage times?
- Are there seasonal variations?
- How old are your major energy-consuming systems?
- Do you track energy usage by area/department?
- Have you had an energy audit before?

Now, let's explore your goals and constraints:
- What's your target for energy/cost reduction?
- Do you have sustainability commitments?
- What's your budget for improvements?
- What's your payback period requirement?
- Are there any operational constraints?

Based on your situation, I'll provide:

1. **Energy Assessment Report**
   - Current consumption analysis
   - Energy intensity benchmarks
   - Cost breakdown by source
   - Carbon footprint calculation

2. **Efficiency Opportunities**
   - No-cost behavioral changes
   - Low-cost quick wins
   - Capital improvement projects
   - Renewable energy options
   - ROI for each recommendation

3. **Implementation Roadmap**
