The Size and Complexity of
the energy efficiency projects your business undertakes is the main factor in
deciding who manages project implementation. For something as simple as
replacing HVAC filters or replacing incandescent lamps with LEDs, your team can
do the work whereas designing and replacing a lighting system will likely
