Energy Conservation: General
Question: What is Energy Conservation?
Answer: Energy Conservation helps to reduce your energy consumption, streamline your facility operations, improve equipment safety and help you efficiently comply with government regulations.
Question: Who benefits from Energy Conservation measures?
Answer: Everybody benefits in terms of delaying the cost of new generation plants, cleaner air and a better environment. You benefit specifically from the reductions in your operating expenses and increased efficiency. This releases funds for other purposes.
Question: What is "performance contracting"?
Answer: Performance contracting is a method for making capital improvements to a facility, financing all associated costs and having a guarantee that the resulting operational savings will cover the debt service. Performance contracting allows for major upgrades to be completed within existing budgets because your payments are based on the savings you receive.
Question: What kind of savings can I expect?
Answer: Depending on the systems installed and the type of facilities you have, the annual energy and maintenance savings can be substantial - a good target is 10-20% of your energy cost. In many cases, the payback time is only 2-3 years, then the money you save is yours to keep!
Question: Where do I find the funds to pay for the services that save me money?
Answer: The funds are in your own budget in the form of inflated energy expenses. You may be wasting energy and valuable funds if your buildings do not have modern equipment and systems! We can finance the equipment with your pledge to pay the loan back from your energy savings.
