Through a partnership with the National Governors Association (NGA), Wal-Mart will perform energy audits in the capitols of 20 U.S. states and commonwealths to identify ways in which they can reduce energy consumption.

For the audits, energy and engineering experts identified by Wal-Mart will target lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, refrigeration equipment and buildings in capitol complexes.

The NGA Center for Best Practices, which selected the participants, will track results. Technologies that have worked successfully for the world’s largest retailer will guide energy efficiency recommendations, which will be delivered to each state governor.
