Some preliminary questions…
The objective of the EnerSense workshop is to provide your company and staff with optimum
solutions in energy efficiency. In order to identify issues at stake, a holistic approach is of vital
importance.
As no one knows your company as well as you do, we would like to ask for your assistance.
As part of our preparations for the workshop, please be so kind as to answer the following
questions. The more detailed the information is, that you provide us with, the more effectively
we will be able to work with you during the workshop.
Should you be unable to answer a question (completely), please mark the text box below with
NA (no answer) and – if possible – state a reason why you can’t or don’t want to give an
answer. After filling in the document, please save it and send it to [email protected].
