Boost Your Bottom Line - Lower Energy Bills
With rising energy costs, cutting energy usage by becoming more efficient can boost your company’s bottom line, lower energy bills as well as contribute our environmental health.
You can begin to identify areas for improvement by collecting current energy use information within your company. After analyzing your findings, you can set realistic goals for your company’s energy savings plan.
You will most likely find immediate opportunities to save energy and money by focusing on energy-intensive systems, as well as lighting.
Investing in proper maintenance, upgrades, and adjustments of existing electrical systems may achieve significant reductions in energy use and can often pay back the capital needed in only a few months from the savings produced.
Install digital controls with automatic settings for heating and cooling systems, when full loads are not needed, and make sure that they are functioning properly.
Remove some lighting, or make sure lights are turned off when not in use. Replace existing light tubes (or bulbs) with energy efficient versions either as a project or as part of normal maintenance. Consider upgrading lighting systems. Lighting upgrades often have very short payback periods and make good financial sense even if you don’t own the building. Install motion sensors to automatically shut off outdoor lights during the day or when everyone leaves.
Evaluate your energy plans progress by periodically monitoring your company’s energy consumption. Though monitoring in itself will not save any energy it will provide the base line information to monitor trends and identify improvement opportunities.
These are some of the ways you can achieve the goals of your company’s energy savings plan. For information on our full range of services please do not hesitate to call us.
