How long of a payback period is too long for your organization when examining replacement equipment options? Question Title * 7. Is outside support to assist in identifying energy efficiency & GHG emission reduction projects (specifically related to your production process) needed or do you feel that your organization can/does have the capacity to comprehensively identify such opportunities internally? Yes No Question Title * 8. Building off of question seven, if at least 50% cost coverage were provided, would your organization take advantage of an opportunity to have a technical service provider examine ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at your facility through a technical assessment of your equipment and process (i.e. an energy and emission audit offering)? Yes No Done
