The document discusses energy evaluation and monitoring in buildings. It provides links to resources on topics like global warming intensifying due to carbon emissions, buildings being responsible for 40% of carbon emissions, and energy policy becoming more stringent. It asks questions about setting energy use targets for buildings, understanding current energy use, and strategies to improve performance. The document advertises an energy evaluation and monitoring tool and course to help analyze energy use patterns, compare performance to targets, and compare energy use and costs to benchmarks.

6. G A U G E
• What energy use targets should we aim for in
buildings?
• How is energy currently being used in
buildings?
• How can this be changed to improve
performance?
• What are the most appropriate mix of
strategies to achieve to achieve targets?
