The Advisor will follow protocols developed by Abode to conduct virtual and comprehensive on-site assessments that combine the most important elements of traditional energy audits with more holistic electrification and decarbonization opportunities meeting the customer or building owner?s goals. The Advisor will produce a report summarizing these opportunities and a recommended action plan.
