Now more than ever, energy audits have the capability of generating real savings for companies. These savings can be in the form of electric, gas or other utility costs. The recommendations are typically split to include reviews of the lighting, heating, ventilation, and cooling, building envelope, hot water, compressed air, motors, cooking, and refrigeration. Since many of the recommendations will entail no cost, the payback and savings can start immediately.

Often the best time to change the equipment you will use in your facility is right before you build it. By looking at the plans for a facility, our specialists can perform an energy audit and make recommendations for changes in the specified design and equipment. These changes have much quicker payback when compared to retrofit applications and are justified comparing the future energy savings and the incremental cost differences.

When and how you use your energy can be as important as how much energy you use. For this reason, it is important to understand the impact various equipment can have on your energy bills. Sometimes adjusting the time a piece of equipment is used can have a dramatic effect on your bills.

Other benefits can come by comparing different technologies to accomplish the desired task or process. Sometimes a gas or electro-technology can better serve the process and provide side benefits such as heat for other processes or reduced pollution impact.

With the electronic equipment you depend on today, it is more important than ever to assure that the power you use is kept clean. It is estimated that over 90 percent of power problems are the result of equipment located in and around the facility. Our specialists can work with you in identifying the type of problem, the cause of the problem and provide recommendations for remediation. They can also make evaluations and recommendations regarding the protection of your equipment from lightning surges and phase loss.

With the use of our historical data and our interval metering, we can assist you in looking at your usage patterns and help you answer these questions. This information can be helpful in the areas of production planning, new equipment planning, cost accounting, and budgeting.
