Energy Efficiency and Savings

Energy Efficiency for Businesses

Property Lighting

Whether it's exterior lighting for security or an outdoor patio, or indoor lighting to illuminate shelves and customer walkways, all commercial businesses rely on effective lighting for their property. In fact, lighting usually makes up 15- 30% of the total energy expense for a commercial business. For something that you rely on so much, and use practically the entire business day, being able to optimize your commercial lighting for energy efficiency is a massive step for many businesses to support their revenue growth. By upgrading to energy-efficient lights and light fixtures in your commercial business, you could save 50% or even more on your monthly lighting and electricity usage bill. For a simple process, that's big savings that's cut down on expenses and supports your overall growth as a business.

Energy Efficient Systems

Like the lighting systems and fixtures in your commercial business, there is likely a variety of equipment and HVAC systems that you also utilize on a daily basis. You rely on these types of systems (that use a lot of energy to do their job) to keep your business temperate during both the summer and winter months, but without optimizing these systems or an effective sealing of your business property, you could be wasting energy, and therefore money. By optimizing your property and upgrading your HVAC or compressed air systems to much more energy efficient alternatives, you can use less energy for the exact same usage amount, which means you are also spending less money every month on energy bills.

Supporting Your Bottom Line

At the end of the day, any business is simply trying to have their income exceed their expenses, as being a profitable commercial business is not exactly a guarantee. There are a lot of factors to business financial growth, but really only two that matter on paper: you improve your income, or you minimize your expenses. Optimizing your commercial business for energy efficiency is a simple and highly effective way to minimize your monthly expenses. By utilizing or installing energy efficient lighting and HVAC systems, you can save money every single month on your energy and utility bills, giving you more of the financial leverage you need to grow your business and succeed. And, you are helping support the larger national electricity grids, and the planet itself
