Abstract
This chapter highlights the importance of a feedback loop for continued energy effectiveness, as it is in any other ongoing process improvement efforts. Within the SEE Framework, there are three components to this segment: evaluation of project or program elements, recognition for successful efforts, and then adaptation of the project or program for the next cycle. A detailed SEE graphic completes this section.
