Explore low- and no-cost energy-efficiency options for businesses of all sizes
With the demands of COVID-19 and related economic factors, such as new or changed on-site working and production arrangements, you may be looking at your business operations in a new way. As you flex your workspace to adapt to your changing needs, you should also consider flexing your energy use to provide maximum efficiency (and maximum energy savings) based on the way you use your facility today.
An energy assessment can be a great first step to determine your most effective energy strategy., You’ll get expert energy advice personalized for your building’s characteristics and operations, as well as your priorities. With this whole-building solution, you receive field-tested advice that can be incorporated into your plans.
Creating a roadmap for success
This suite of assessments—from streamlined to highly detailed—identifies your energy efficiency opportunities and enables you to chart a long-range plan with a customized Energy Roadmap. This Energy Roadmap provides energy-saving recommendations to help you conserve money and energy by integrating all relevant efficiency programs and rebates that can help offset your initial costs.
But like all roadmaps, your assessment will be unique depending on where you are and where you’re going. Your assessment should consider a range of factors, including:
- Your type and size of business – whether commercial, retail or industrial
- Whether your building is equipped with a Building Automation System (BAS), and whether data from the system can be reviewed as part of the assessment
- The resources you have available to oversee and implement energy management
Building the logic for company acceptance
Your customized Energy Roadmap includes prioritized opportunities and options, including anticipated costs, savings and rebates—making it your actionable guide to implementation. The Energy Roadmap also serves as a robust business case for garnering support for your plan with decision-makers and stakeholders across your organization.
To ensure you and your team don’t hit roadblocks along the way, the included suite of implementation services offers facilitation of your internal stakeholder meetings; project prioritization, financial analysis, contractor bidding and proposal review; savings and rebate maximization; rebate paperwork and processing support.
Get direct benefits for your business
Your assessment provides immediate, direct benefits to your business. Appropriate low- and no-cost opportunities are implemented during the assessment itself or on the day the Energy Roadmap is reviewed with you. The Energy Roadmap details:
- Equipment replacement options
- Demand charge savings (if applicable)
- Energy and cost savings
- Estimated costs to make energy upgrades or improvements
- Payback projections
- Savings through equipment rebates, as well as other energy-related opportunities relevant to your goals and objectives
