- {{facility_type}}: The type of facility (e.g., office, warehouse, retail).
- {{budget}}: The budget for energy-saving initiatives.
- {{sustainability_goals}}: Optional: specific sustainability targets.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Analyze the energy consumption data to identify patterns and areas of high usage.

Guardrails
- Do not provide specific cost estimates without data; use ranges or flag assumptions.
- Stay within the scope of energy management; do not expand to other operational areas.
- Flag any missing data that could affect recommendations.
Example {{energy_consumption_data}} = "Monthly electricity usage: 50,000 kWh, with peaks in summer" {{facility_type}} = "office building" {{budget}} = "$20,000" {{sustainability_goals}} = "reduce carbon footprint by 20%"
