The energy management journey tool is designed to help you assess your business's energy costs, and to estimate how much you could save if you made certain changes.
You will be asked to provide information about your business's energy consumption and management, as well as general information about your business.  The tool will then provide you with a summary (including a graph) of how energy costs are broken down for a typical business in your sector.  The tool will suggest steps that you could take to reduce your energy costs, and will estimate the amount that you could save by taking those steps.
