Cost Savings
There’s two ways to reduce energy costs: supply side savings and demand side savings.
On the supply side, we’ll create an RFP and shop the open market for competitive natural gas, Renewable Energy Credits (REC’s) and electricity (where allowed). We’ll also review your energy bills to determine if you’re on the most cost-effective utility rate. If you’re not we’ll help you identify the best rate available and advise you of the risk/benefit of changing rates.
On the demand side, we’ve been the Measurement and Verification field experts for Duke Energy. In this role we’ve been responsible for measuring and verifying the actual energy savings that their customers realized on projects such as lighting, HVAC retrofits, variable speed drives, air compressors, etc. We’ve seen it all and learned first-hand what works and what doesn’t.
We’ve taken this knowledge and help customers implement the most cost-effective solution. If appropriate, we also fill out all the necessary paperwork to get you the rebate from the utility provider. The savings begin immediately. All our cost savings programs are comprehensive and employ multiple strategies to allow you to get the most out of your plan.
Most of our projects begin paying for themselves from the first day of operation providing a positive cashflow and improved working environment. If desired, we have investment partners that would welcome the opportunity to provide the funding for your projects so there is not a need for any upfront capital. We have multiple financing options available for any size business or budget.
