Self-Assessment tools are designed to help industry measure and improve their operations in the areas of resource efficiency. The tools provide qualitative as well as quantitative baseline of a company, identify improvement potentials and estimate potential savings. The results generated by these tools are estimated based on models and help to determine which equipment or practices are worth pursuing to improve organizational performance.

The companies can contact ESPIRE team or the experts involved in developing these tools using the contact information provided within the tools.

On-site audits and advise may be beneficial to uncover other conservation measures not addressed by these tools.
