On Being a Published Writer: Without a Degree

This is a bit of a vulnerable share today, and I am writing it after a sleepless night, the monster of anxiety and shame weighing heavily on my chest. However, I have come far in life and undergone an incredible amount of healing, and refuse to be ashamed of my past. I hope sharing this can help even one person like me remember that when it comes to craft, when it comes to art, the only thing stopping you from being worthy is you.

This year, I became a published writer. After years of hard work and dedication to my craft, I finally felt good enough to begin submitting my work to literary magazines. I'm proud of that accomplishment. It's a little tag I get to add to my bio now as I submit work that helps make me feel *valid.* But that quickly, all it takes is for someone to remind me that I did not have access to a degree, that I did not learn from the best, and I will spend the rest of my life without a formal education behind my writing, and they achieve the goal they set out: to make me feel less than for not having their background.

In America, the education system is for profit and public school system inconsistent. There are many factors that can contribute to whether or not a person gets through it successfully, and it often has little to do with intelligence, work ethic, or strength of character and drive before the age of 18.

So here is my story:

I graduated high school with a 2.1 GPA.

My first hospitalization (out of the 17 I would have in my life) for edometriomas happened at age 15. I spent the majority of high school struggling with chronic pain, stage four endometriosis and the accompanying endometriomas cysts, and illness. By age 16, social services was threatened by my school to be called on my home for suspected neglect and abuse. I moved out of my house that year, and was given temporary guardianship by a friends family.

By the end of my senior year, I continued to bounce around between friends houses, sometimes sleeping in my car, and struggled to keep on top of my coursework. I was enrolled in the work study program designed for students who had to keep a job during their high school years, and earned school credits for staying employed.

Despite all of this, I still maintained high grades in Advance Placement literature and language, proceeded to get 5's on my AP tests (a perfect score, and a rare accomplishment) as well as near perfect scores on my ACT's. I spent every spare second reading and writing from the moment I learned how. My intelligence and comprehension were not the issue. My health and my home life were.

The only reason I got into college at all was because I decided to audition for a school play freshman year. Much to my surprise, I was cast in the lead role, and thus the course of my life was set. I poured everything I had into acting, I finally had a purpose and something to keep me out of having to go home after school. Still, applying for colleges was one of the most stressful and shame inducing experiences of my life. I got into many top performance programs in the country, then would not get into the university itself with my GPA. The conservatories that did not look into school performance did not provide the financial assistance required for me to attend.

There was one university that offered limited talent admissions that would allow the university admission requirements to be overlooked for students that had displayed exceptional talent in their specialized field of study. I had to put together a request for the school board, complete with letters from my high school teachers providing context for my low GPA paired with high test scores, character assessments on my likely ability to maintain the minimum required GPA in college, as well as a letter from the head of the performing arts department of the university stating that I was worthy of this talent exception. The wait was unbearable. But I was accepted. And I was approved for the work study program that allowed me to gain employment at the university to help offset the cost.

I felt like my whole life had changed in college. I had gotten in. I had gotten out. I was a new person, no one knowing about my past or the stain of my struggles. I had a fresh start. While I continued to battle my illness throughout college, it was manageable with a consistent bed to sleep in every night, as well as access to physical and mental health services. And although I tested out of being required to take any English classes with AP, I still filled my elective credits with writing classes. Screenwriting, playwriting, poetry, creative writing. Performing became my work, and writing became my joy. I took every class that sounded remotely interesting, often filling my schedule more than required on top of my work and performance load.

I am withholding some of the more personal details of my life, but when I finally moved out to LA, I hit the ground running. I accomplished more in a few years than fellow artists and performers who had been out there for more than a decade. And I valued every person I met. I was in small, independent theatre shows with Juliard grads. I was on professional sets with wildly naturally talented people working to get their GED with no formal education but that undeniable *it* factor. People from all walks of life set out for the Angel City to make it, and I was one of them. I also began writing again, this time short films and audition monologues. I began writing pieces for friends and classmates at their request. I secured my first talent agent with a performance piece that I wrote, along with an offer to renegotiate my contract to include literary representation should I complete a script worth shopping. I began to organize applications for writing fellowships at top studios, when my condition became so severe the only option to move forward with my life was surgery. And then my life completely changed again.

I came out of that surgery with nerve damage that left me unable to walk for six months, as well as developed a new permanent nervous system disorder.

My career and my life never recovered. I was permanently changed. However, during that time, I turned one of my sci-fi short films I had written into a 160k word novel, with outlines for a trilogy. While it was one of the darkest times of my life, writing got me through it. I moved out of Los Angeles to a more affordable city and threw myself into writing. I learned that ivy league schools like Stanford, Harvard, and Yale shared their syllabi for continued study coursework online, including the required textbooks for the courses. Example here. I took myself through the textbooks and coursework of top schools, I took every local workshop possible when it was in budget. Any education on craft that was within my means, I reached for.

I will never be able to change the course of my life. I will likely never be able to go back to school. However, this amazing video by Bandon Sanderson helped me overcome my shame, my lack of access to returning to higher education when my life and career were irrevocably changed: Be Anything But an English Major

I had already done what he had encouraged, pick a subject I was passionate about, fill my college coursework with things I found interesting, and let it inform my writing. While this is not to disrespect or degrade English majors or say successful authors think the degree is worthless, I am simply sharing to say this video helped ME combat against English majors who made me feel worthless for not having access to their diploma.

So to anyone feeling insecure today, you do not need a degree in the arts. Whether you want to be an author, an actor, a painter, a fashion designer, a poet. And I say this as someone whose greatest privilege and joy in life was getting a performing arts degree.

We must continue to prioritize art being accessible, value diverse backgrounds, and wish for it to be open and available to all. We must continue to treat art as subjective, and reject ideals that learning from a certain set of paid individuals makes all other opinions, choices, or ideas invalid.

There is no dollar amount I could give to a piece of paper that would make my mind, my intelligence, and my ability to organize and understand words in an impactful way that would make me more valid than I am today. There is no degree that could replace my work ethic, my empathy, my desire to write stories to do good. To give something to the world and help people survive in the ways that I had needed to survive.

Maybe I'll tell this story again one day, and it will help another young person with my background believe there may be more in life than the cards they were dealt. Maybe this will be the first and last time sharing these words. Maybe I'll never get another piece published, but will continue to write fanfic and poetry and prose pieces to share on the internet for free because I believe in my heart it is valuable. To look at myself, and my work, and deem myself worthy of my efforts and passion.

I am proud to be a member of the community of published writers without a degree.

I am even more proud to be a member of online fandoms full of writers, artists, creators, contributors and more who give their free time and energy towards something that does nothing more than make others happy.

So,

to the people who look at the stars and wish.

to the stars who listen— and the dreams that are answered,

this one is for you.

"Boss," My secretary looks up at me with a confused look plastered on her face. "I thought you were sick."

Oh right. I chew my lip.

I offer her my best smile. "I ate some soup! I'm all good now!"

She raises a judgmental eyebrow.

A harsh bump on my shoulder makes me look behind me, resulting in me coming face-to-face with my friend, Emma. She examines me from head to toe, her nose scrunched up. She turns to my secretary. "Hina, why is there a liar in my face?" She questions.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out!"

Emma rolls her eyes and hands me a stack of paper. "I'm glad you enjoyed your 24-hour vacation because you have work to do." Soon, my right hand is overflowing with papers covered in letters and numbers. My face resembles that of confusion and an ever-so-sassy Emma scoffs at my dismay, rolling her eyes. "The CEO's wife cheated on him; he filed for divorce. Ever since then, it's like he's been taking his anger out on us." She jots her lip out to form a pout.

"I... thought it was the other way around? Didn't his wife...?" Hinata trails off and looks at Emma incredulously.

I roll my eyes at their loose lips and make my way to the elevator. I press the button to go to the 11th floor and look over the stack of paperwork Emma handed me. My role as a junior operations analyst is to assess the business policies and procedures of an organization. To make sure the business is running as efficiently as possible, I pinpoint areas that require improvement and assist in creating new plans.

It's my responsibility to carry out research, investigate workflows, and make sure the company complies with legal requirements. I collaborate with each department to schedule meetings with managers and carry out internal audits to gauge their workflows. In order to provide insights into corporate operations, I am a key player in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data. I support management and senior analysts in spotting patterns, summarizing research, and coming to wise judgments.

I'm pulled out of my calculations by the sound of the elevator alerting me to my stop. I head into the hallway to find my nameplate with the numbers 1105 etched underneath it, just beside my door.

I push my door open and carelessly plop the papers onto my desk. Slumping into my office chair, I swing about, already fatigued.

The phone rings on my desk, and I immediately sit up straight and act professionally. I pick up the phone and hear Hina's chirpy voice ringing through. "Ma'am, you are to pick up line 2. There is a gentleman who says he would like to speak with you."

"Will do! Thank you, Hinata." I hang up the phone, this time pressing 'pickup' followed by the numbers 02.

I introduce myself and my role to the guest then ask how I can be of assistance.

"I know who you are, sweetheart; I need a favor." I recoil at the sound of Hanma's voice, pulling away from my phone. "Hanma?!" I inquire.

"How do you know where I work? Why didn't you just text me? Don't call me at my workplace because you're bored." I chastise.

"Wow, this is some customer service. 1. I have my ways; 2. your phone is off, and even if you did answer, you would still nag me for texting you at work; and 3. while I am bored, I need something."

I upturn my lip at his quips. "What is it?"

"I need you to deliver something to someone once you're done at work."

"That sentence contained no nouns at all. I'm having trouble getting a name, knowing where I'm going, or what I'm dropping off. Already a red flag." I deadpan.

"There's my businesswoman." He chuckles. "But no, sweetheart, you can trust me."

I sigh.

"You owe me."

His laugh reverberates over the phone. "Of course, doll."

As I exit the building, my phone is illuminated by the orange hue of the setting sun. Scrolling down my contacts, I dial Hanma's number and wait for him to pick up.

"Hello?"

"So where am I supposed to be going? Do I walk down the street, or?" I briefly look around for any signs of Hanma.

"A friend of mine is coming to pick you up. Stay where you are." Caught off guard by his sudden serious tone, I hang up and do as I am told.

In less than five minutes, a black Toyota Camry pulls to a stop in front of me. With a text from Hanma telling me what the car looks like, I know that this is the friend he mentioned. Opening the passenger door, I realize there are two men in the car. The driver, brownskinned with black and yellow hair, pushes his glasses up his nose. The passenger, purple haired sporting a jellyfish-like haircut, looks at me as if I just spat on him.

"Can I help you? You're riding in the back." He jots his thumb towards the backseat, gazing down his nose at me as if he is already annoyed by my presence.

"Damn, excuse you." I mumble, slamming the door and sliding into the backseat instead.

I cross my arms and fight the urge to complain to Hanma about his friends' less than welcoming behavior. Sighing heavily, I rest my head against the window as we turn down countless streets. I try my best to remember where we're going just in case things go left.

It isn't long before the car comes to a stop outside an abandoned warehouse. Graffiti and dirt cover what's left of the establishment. I look towards the men.

"Are y'all sure this where we supposed to be?" I gazed out the window with concern.

I get no response as the man in the passenger seat gets out the car. I look to the driver instead. He looks at me, yet gives no response. Irritated, I step out the car, broken glass crunching beneath my feet. I go to the trunk where the purple haired man is located.

He gives me something that is sealed with red string and wrapped in a brown paper bag. I examine the square-shaped object in an attempt to determine what it is.

"Let's go." The man slams the trunk and strides over to the warehouse.

Shortly after the man knocks on the enormous doors, they swing open. A man in a suit flanked by what I could only guess to be bodyguards stood in the center of the room.

The man was overweight, short, and leaned on a cane. The man grins at us, and I'm not sure which sparkled more, the big gold ring on his hand that he extended toward us or the single gold grill on his teeth.

"Haitani! Good ta see ya!" The man bellows.

Though he tried to hide it, the man named Haitani grimaced.

"Pleasure doing business with you, Kosung." One of Kosung's men stalks towards us, and Haitani takes the package out of my hand, giving it to the man.

"Who's the doll?" Kosung motions towards me with the package. "The King's recruiting newbies?" He slightly opens the package, peering through the small hole.

Haitani scoffs. "I sure hope not."

Haitani clears his throat, then all eyes are on him. "I have some toys in the trunk." Haitani uses his head to motion towards the car.

Kosung hands the package to one of his men. "The King sure does act fast, huh? Let's see what you've got."

Haitani grabs my upper arm and drags me out the warehouse. Once the heavy doors close behind us, he spins me around so that I'm facing a small shed hidden far behind the warehouse.

"See that shed over there?" Haitani points, "Go in there and grab anything with the word Bonten on it." He pats my shoulder and starts to walk to the car.

I turn and grab the sleeve of his tux. "So you wanna be rude from jump, then have the nerve to ask me to do something for you? Have you lost your goddamn mind?!" I push his arm.

"Have you lost yours? If you're gonna be sensitive over every little thing, you shouldn't have offered to help in the first place." He glares at me. "Hanma needs to keep his bitches on a leash." He mumbled and continued to walk to the car.

It took everything in me not to grab him by his ugly ass hair and slap the shit out of him. Regardless, I turn and walk to the shed, only to be met with a rusty padlock. I look around for something to break- much less, open- the lock. Hidden in the tall grass, I find a hammer and ready myself. With three good swings, the lock breaks off. With the door dragging on the ground, it takes most of my strength to open it, though just enough for me to squeeze through.

Once inside, I discover a dusty storage area with documents strewn about. Not sure where to look first, I maneuver over to the office desk in the middle of the room. While looking through papers, a particular document catches my eye. The name of the company I'm working for, Gynja Investments, and Bonten are supposed to be completing a deal today.

Organizing the documents on the desk: a stack for Gynja Investments, a stack for Bonten, and a stack for the plans they have created and intend to create together. I fold up the stacks that have to with the company I'm working under, and stuff them into my shoes. I grab Bonten's papers and stuff them into the waistband of my skirt.

Suddenly, my body is thrown forward, and my chest meets the desk. Instantly, what I can only assume is a zip tie, binds my wrists together. As I attempt to scream for help, my assailant gags my mouth with a cloth, tying it.

They yank me up by the zip tie, causing the plastic to dig into my wrists. I scream in pain as I am pushed out of the shed. I scream and kick, but my attempts to make a sound are met with silence and my kicks miss their target. Soon, we come to the back door of the warehouse, only for the doors to be flung open by my assailant, and me to meet the disgusting floor. Looking up, my eyes meet Haitani's- disappointed? disgusted?- expression.

No, it was more like he was bothered with the fact that I got caught and he now has to save me. But by the looks of it, I'm not even sure if he wants to do that. Kosung looks back at me and smiles.

"Haitani! I thought you said it was a pleasure doing business with me?" He turns back to the man in question.

Haitani picks at his ear. "That's the thing, Kosung. The boss thought so too. So while you're worried about my rat, shouldn't you be worried about why one of yours has supposedly been taking millions from Bonten?"

Haitani takes out his phone, seemingly uninterested in what Kosung has to say next.

Kosung's face grows red as he grits his teeth with anger. "Me? Skim Manjiro? Don't make me laugh, bastard! What business do I have skimming a gang that's going to fall within days?!-" The man's sentence is cut off with a blood curdling scream and the sound of a gunshot ringing through the air. Blood splatters from the man's knee as he falls to the ground.

I look back to see a man with a pink mullet and scars adorning each side of his mouth, pointing a smoking gun at Kosung. "Watch your tongue, pig."

I can hardly understand what's going on as shots ring through the air. Trying my best to get to safety, I crawl behind a crate. Screams and gunfire are all that can be heard throughout the warehouse. Just then, a large man gets thrown at the crate in front of me, breaking it and knocking me out in the process.

The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) did not consistently provide access to mental health and substance use services for Indigenous people in British Columbia correctional centres, according to B.C.'s Office of the Auditor General.

A statement from the office of Auditor General Michael Pickup says the PHSA — which has been responsible for health care in B.C.'s 10 correctional centres since 2017 — "could not confirm whether Indigenous clients entering correctional facilities were provided necessary mental health and substance use services, assessed appropriately or if discharge care plans were in place for their release."

An audit of 92 files of Indigenous clients from 2019 to 2021 found gaps in monitoring and oversight by the PHSA attributed to limited capacity of its client health information system and a lack of client file reviews. [...]

"After looking at these files, we found that the PHSA Is not fully delivering on what it is supposed to do," Pickup said in a news conference on Thursday. "And frankly, the PHSA needs to do better to care for Indigenous people in correctional centres." [...]

Fewer than half of Indigenous client files in the sample had a complete care plan for mental health and/or substance use services. About 80 per cent of clients received some services, while around 20 per cent received no services. [...]

The Power of Brand Guidelines: Building a Consistent Branding Strategy

Brand guidelines play a crucial role in branding by providing a comprehensive framework for consistent branding across all platforms and touchpoints.

The Role of Brand Guidelines in Branding

Brand guidelines play a crucial role in branding by providing a comprehensive framework for consistent branding across all platforms and touchpoints. They serve as a set of rules and guidelines that define the visual and verbal identity of a brand, ensuring that all brand elements are used consistently and cohesively.

By establishing clear guidelines for logo usage, typography, color palette, imagery, and tone of voice, brand guidelines help create a strong and recognizable brand identity. They ensure that every communication, whether it's a website, social media post, or print advertisement, reflects the brand's values, personality, and positioning.

Moreover, brand guidelines also help maintain consistency and coherence across different departments and teams within an organization. They provide a reference point for designers, marketers, and content creators to ensure that their work aligns with the brand's overall strategy and messaging. This consistency not only enhances brand recognition but also builds trust and credibility among consumers.

Key Components of Brand Guidelines

Brand guidelines typically include several key components that define the brand's visual and verbal identity. These components may include:

- Logo usage guidelines: How and where the logo should be used, including size, placement, clear space, and variations.

- Typography guidelines: The fonts and typefaces that should be used across different mediums, as well as guidelines for font sizes, headings, and body text.

- Color palette: The specific colors that represent the brand, including primary, secondary, and accent colors, as well as guidelines for color usage and combinations.

- Imagery guidelines: Guidance on the types of imagery that should be used, such as photography or illustrations, as well as the style and tone of the images.

- Tone of voice guidelines: Instructions on the brand's preferred writing style, including language, tone, and messaging.

These components, when combined, create a comprehensive visual and verbal identity that distinguishes the brand and helps it stand out in a crowded market.

Implementing Brand Guidelines Across Various Platforms

Implementing brand guidelines across various platforms is crucial to maintain a consistent brand experience for consumers. Whether it's a website, social media platform, or physical store, every touchpoint should reflect the brand's visual and verbal identity.

To ensure successful implementation, it's important to educate all stakeholders about the brand guidelines and their importance. This includes training designers, marketers, content creators, and even customer service representatives on how to apply the guidelines effectively in their work.

Additionally, it's essential to provide easy access to the brand guidelines and any necessary assets, such as logos, fonts, and templates. This ensures that everyone involved in creating brand communications has the resources they need to adhere to the guidelines.

Regular audits and reviews are also crucial in implementing brand guidelines. These help identify any inconsistencies or deviations from the guidelines and allow for adjustments or updates to be made as necessary. By continuously monitoring and enforcing the guidelines, brands can ensure a cohesive and impactful brand presence across all platforms.

Measuring the Success of Brand Guidelines

Measuring the success of brand guidelines can be challenging but crucial for assessing their effectiveness and making improvements. While brand guidelines are primarily focused on maintaining consistency, there are several key indicators that can be used to evaluate their impact:

- Brand recognition and recall: Assessing the level of brand recognition and recall among consumers can indicate the effectiveness of the brand guidelines in creating a memorable and distinctive brand identity.

- Consistency across touchpoints: Reviewing various brand touchpoints, such as websites, social media profiles, and marketing materials, to ensure they align with the brand guidelines and maintain a consistent visual and verbal identity.

- Customer feedback and perception: Gathering feedback from customers through surveys, interviews, or social media monitoring can provide insights into how well the brand guidelines are resonating with the target audience and whether they perceive the brand as consistent and cohesive.

- Internal alignment: Assessing the extent to which different teams and departments within the organization are adhering to the brand guidelines can indicate the level of internal alignment and whether the guidelines are effectively communicated and implemented.

By regularly evaluating these indicators, brands can identify areas of improvement and make necessary adjustments to their brand guidelines to ensure they continue to support a consistent and impactful brand presence.

Continuous Evolution of Brand Guidelines

Brand guidelines should not be considered static documents but rather living frameworks that evolve with the brand and its market. As brands grow and adapt to changing consumer preferences and market trends, their brand guidelines need to be reviewed and updated to ensure they remain relevant and effective.

Continuous evolution of brand guidelines involves regularly assessing the brand's positioning, target audience, and competitive landscape to identify any necessary adjustments or additions. This can include updates to the visual identity, tone of voice, or even the inclusion of new platforms or touchpoints.

It's important to involve key stakeholders, such as senior management, marketing teams, and creative agencies, in the review and evolution process to ensure that the brand guidelines align with the overall brand strategy and goals.

How to Select the Best Cryptocurrency Development Services Provider Near You?

Choosing the right cryptocurrency development services provider is crucial for the success of your blockchain project. Whether you're launching a new cryptocurrency, developing a decentralized application (dApp), or planning an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), finding a reliable and competent development team can make all the difference. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this important decision.

1. Define Your Project Requirements

Before you start looking for a cryptocurrency development services provider, it’s essential to clearly define your project requirements. Outline the scope of your project, including technical specifications, desired features, security considerations, and any regulatory compliance requirements. Understanding your project needs will help you evaluate potential providers more effectively.

2. Evaluate Technical Expertise

One of the most critical factors in selecting a cryptocurrency development services provider is their technical expertise. Look for a team that has a proven track record in blockchain development, particularly in the specific technologies and platforms you intend to use (e.g., Ethereum, Hyperledger, Stellar). Verify their experience through case studies, client testimonials, and their portfolio of completed projects.

3. Assess Security Measures

Security is paramount in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space due to the high value of digital assets and the prevalence of cyber threats. Ensure that the development services provider has robust security protocols in place, including adherence to best practices such as code audits, multi-layered encryption, secure smart contract development, and regular security updates.

4. Check Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory compliance is another critical consideration, especially if your project involves tokens or involves financial transactions. Ensure that the development team is well-versed in relevant regulatory frameworks (e.g., KYC/AML regulations) and can implement compliance measures effectively. A reputable provider should prioritize legal compliance to mitigate regulatory risks.

5. Evaluate Development Methodologies

Understand the development methodologies and processes employed by the cryptocurrency development services provider. Agile methodologies are often preferred in blockchain development for their flexibility and iterative approach. Ensure that the provider emphasizes transparency, regular communication, and milestone-based deliverables to keep your project on track.

6. Review Client Support and Maintenance

Post-launch support and maintenance are crucial for the long-term success of your blockchain project. Inquire about the provider’s support services, including troubleshooting, bug fixes, and updates. A reliable provider should offer ongoing maintenance to address evolving technological and security needs, ensuring the continued functionality and security of your platform.

7. Consider Industry Reputation and Reviews

Research the reputation of potential cryptocurrency development services providers within the industry. Seek reviews from past clients and industry experts to gauge their reliability, professionalism, and overall satisfaction with the services provided. Online platforms, forums, and social media can provide valuable insights into the provider’s reputation and client relationships.

8. Evaluate Cost and Budget

While cost shouldn’t be the sole determining factor, it’s important to consider your budget and compare pricing among different providers. Beware of overly low-cost offers that may compromise quality or lack transparency in pricing structure. Look for a provider that offers competitive pricing aligned with the scope and complexity of your project, with a clear breakdown of costs.

9. Assess Communication and Collaboration

Effective communication and collaboration are essential when working with a cryptocurrency development services provider. Evaluate their responsiveness, clarity in communication, and willingness to understand your project vision. A provider who values collaboration and offers proactive suggestions can contribute significantly to the success of your blockchain venture.

10. Seek Customization and Scalability

Every blockchain project is unique, requiring tailored solutions to meet specific objectives. Ensure that the development services provider offers customization options and scalability to accommodate future growth and evolving market demands. Whether you’re launching a startup or expanding an existing platform, scalability should be a key consideration in your provider selection.

Conclusion

Selecting the best cryptocurrency development services provider near you involves careful evaluation of technical expertise, security measures, regulatory compliance, support services, reputation, cost, and collaboration capabilities. By thoroughly assessing these factors and aligning them with your project requirements, you can make an informed decision that sets the foundation for a successful blockchain venture.

Choosing the right partner is not just about finding a development team but selecting a strategic ally committed to your project’s success from inception through implementation and beyond.

Green Living: How Energy Audit Services Can Help You Go Eco-Friendly and Save Money

Green living is all about adopting habits and practices that contribute to the health of our planet. It's about making conscious choices to reduce waste, conserve resources, and minimize environmental impact. One powerful tool in this eco-friendly arsenal is the energy audit. But what exactly is an energy audit, and how can it help you go green while saving money? Let’s dive in.

Understanding Energy Audits

Definition of Energy Audits

An energy audit is a comprehensive evaluation of a building’s energy use. It identifies where and how energy is being consumed and pinpoints areas where energy is being wasted. The goal is to provide actionable recommendations to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.

Types of Energy Audits

There are generally three types of energy audits:

Walk-Through Audit: A basic inspection to identify obvious energy waste.

Detailed Audit: An in-depth analysis including Energy Consumption data and specific recommendations.

Investment-Grade Audit: A thorough audit used to justify large-scale energy efficiency projects, often including financial analysis.

Components of an Energy Audit

An energy audit typically involves:

Inspection of HVAC Systems: Assessing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning for efficiency.

Lighting Analysis: Evaluating lighting systems for energy use and effectiveness.

Insulation Check: Inspecting insulation in walls, attics, and floors.

Appliance Assessment: Reviewing the efficiency of major appliances.

Benefits of Energy Audits

Financial Savings

By identifying inefficiencies and making the recommended changes, you can significantly lower your energy bills. For instance, sealing drafts and upgrading insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 30%.

Environmental Impact

Reducing energy consumption directly decreases greenhouse gas emissions. By using less energy, you help combat climate change and promote a healthier planet.

Improved Comfort and Health

Enhanced insulation, better HVAC systems, and sealed leaks contribute to a more consistent and comfortable indoor temperature, improving overall comfort and health.

Increased Property Value

Energy-efficient homes and buildings are more attractive to buyers and tenants. Energy audits can lead to improvements that enhance property value and marketability.

The Energy Audit Process

Initial Consultation

The process begins with a consultation where you discuss your concerns and goals with the auditor.

On-Site Inspection

Auditors visit your property to conduct a thorough inspection, using tools like infrared cameras and blower doors to detect issues.

Energy Consumption Analysis

By reviewing your utility bills and energy usage patterns, auditors can understand consumption trends and pinpoint high-energy-use areas.

Report and Recommendations

After the inspection and analysis, the auditor provides a detailed report with findings and specific recommendations for improvement.

Common Issues Identified in Energy Audits

Air Leaks

Air leaks around windows, doors, and other openings can cause significant energy loss.

Poor Insulation

Inadequate insulation in walls, attics, and floors leads to higher heating and cooling costs.

Inefficient Lighting

Old, inefficient lighting fixtures can be a major energy drain.

Outdated Appliances

Older appliances often consume more energy than newer, energy-efficient models.

How to Prepare for an Energy Audit

Choosing the Right Auditor

Look for reputable and certified energy auditors or companies with experience and positive reviews.

Gathering Utility Bills and Documentation

Collect past utility bills and any relevant documentation to help the auditor understand your energy usage patterns.

Preparing Your Home or Building

Ensure access to all areas of the building and list any specific concerns or areas you want the auditor to focus on.

Implementing Energy Audit Recommendations

Prioritizing Improvements

Start with the most impactful and cost-effective measures. This could include sealing leaks, upgrading insulation, or replacing outdated appliances.

DIY Solutions vs. Professional Services

Some recommendations might be simple enough to tackle on your own, while others may require professional services.

Utilizing Rebates and Incentives

Many governments and utility companies offer rebates, tax credits, and incentives for energy-efficient upgrades. An energy audit can help you identify and take advantage of these opportunities.

Future Trends in Energy Audits

Technological Advancements

Advancements in technology, such as smart home systems and more efficient diagnostic tools, are making energy audits more precise and effective.

Increasing Adoption of Renewable Energy

As renewable energy becomes more accessible and affordable, more energy audits are including recommendations for solar panels and other renewable energy sources.

Myths and Misconceptions About Energy Audits

Common Myths Debunked

Some believe energy audits are too expensive or unnecessary. However, the long-term savings and environmental benefits often outweigh the initial cost.

Facts to Consider

Energy audits can provide valuable insights and practical solutions, making them a smart investment for both homeowners and businesses.

Conclusion

Energy audits are a powerful tool for anyone looking to embrace green living and save money. By providing a clear picture of energy use and practical recommendations for improvement, Energy Audits help reduce waste, lower costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability. Investing in an energy audit is a step toward a more eco-friendly lifestyle and a more efficient, cost-effective property.

FAQs

What is the Importance of ESG Reporting in Business? 

Corporate sustainability investors, consultants, and strategists imagine a future where every business has efficient policies governing eco-friendly production methods. Likewise, embracing diversity and financial reporting transparency helps combat legal risks from unethical practices like discrimination and corruption. This post will discuss the importance of ESG reporting in business. 

What is ESG Reporting? 

ESG, or environmental, social, and governance, is an investment strategy using business performance analysis to monitor how a company consumes natural resources, handles employee relations, and practices accounting transparency. So, an ESG consulting services firm will deliver the required data through an appropriate reporting mechanism. 

Using these compliance metrics, investors can quantify the brand’s positive or negative influence on society and nature. Moreover, an ESG report systematically categorizes sustainability metrics into three sections or pillars. 

The environmental pillar summarizes how an organization integrates green technology and reduces plastic usage. Besides, it investigates metrics like the deforestation risks associated with an industry. 

Diversity and multicultural tolerance are at the core of the social considerations in ESG reporting. Additionally, preventing workplace hazards and empowering marginalized groups through affirmative action policies are crucial. 

Governance in sustainable development benchmarks rewards companies employing advanced financial and digital security measures with higher ratings. It assesses how a brand prioritizes ethics, privacy rights, and investor relations. 

What is the Importance of ESG Reporting in Business? 

1| ESG Helps Mitigate Supply Chain Risks 

A lack of standardization and governance exposes your supply chains to legal, financial, and environmental threats, but ESG service providers can assist you in overcoming those challenges. The governance aspects in sustainability compliance audits inspect which suppliers engage in socio-economically harmful practices. 

Using the data-led recommendations in the reports, organizations can determine whether to train suppliers or search for other resource providers. Therefore, managers can increase the company’s resilience to supply chain risks. For example, suppliers must avoid child labor, pollution, and corruption. Otherwise, your enterprise’s reputation will decline once investors and analysts investigate you. 

ESG reporting enables corporations to find suppliers who know the importance of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs). Since most suppliers will change their operations to respond to industry dynamics, reliably examining their ESG scores after suitable intervals is essential. 

2| Consumer and Investors Relations Improve 

Individuals want to purchase eco-friendly products, while impact investors want to support sustainable companies. Therefore, corporate strategists must explore roadmaps for aligning a company’s business model with modern stakeholder expectations. 

Developing ESG-powered business intelligence to estimate the shifts in consumer preferences benefits corporations in planning a new product launch. Similarly, using applicable and valid sustainability metrics for marketing materials goes a long way toward increasing brand awareness and trustworthiness. 

Besides, several governments direct companies to embrace standardized financial self-disclosures. Since ESG reporting integrates globally respected sustainability accounting guidelines, developing the disclosure documentation for investor communications becomes more manageable. 

3| Operational Efficiency Increases 

Toxic workplaces and preferential treatment will accelerate the talent drain at a company. So, social inclusivity and employee health insights empower managers to keep the workers energetic, creative, and productive. 

Furthermore, green technology integrations contribute to energy usage reduction. And the governance components prevent accounting inconsistencies. These advantages of ESG reporting ultimately enhance an organization’s quarterly progress. 

All the financial improvements also help brands transfer the benefits to their stakeholders. Consider the case of refurbished electronic devices. Consumers can get reasonably functional equipment at a lower price while the e-waste generation rate decreases. 

Conclusion 

Regulatory bodies and fund managers recognize the rising importance of ESG reporting in business, administration, and the global economy. Simultaneously, research and development (R&D) into renewable energy resources has attracted investors in several markets. 

Consumers have also voiced their concerns whenever a brand fails to embrace SDGs’ sustainable, inclusive, and transparent vision. 

Therefore, leveraging statistical and computer-aided benchmarks at an extensive scale has become mainstream across business development strategies. As its significance grows with each passing day, leaders must find experienced domain specialists to implement an ESG-first approach throughout their operations.
