Collecting, organizing, analyzing, and reporting all this data manually is quite an ordeal, which is why energy auditing software offerings have been developed and are gaining popularity.

One of the biggest changes currently taking place is the transfer of traditional lighting sources, such as metal halide (MH) and high-pressure sodium (HPS), to light-emitting diode (LED) lighting.
