With today's economic uncertainty, it is important to keep operating expenses to a minimum. The big difference between companies that weather these difficult times and those that do not survive will be whether they have reduced unnecessary expenditures before it is too late.
One unnecessary cost that should be cut is the expense of running building utilities inefficiently. While this has historically been viewed as the cost of doing business, it is no longer a fiscal necessity. Waldrop Mechanical Services is here to help!
A good building energy audit will help reduce your energy costs by 10% to 40%. For large organizations, this can be substantial, and could be the difference between staying afloat and going under.
What is a Commercial Energy Audit?
A commercial building energy audit is a study of your building's energy using equipment. The auditor will study a facility, identifying energy conservation opportunities, interviewing facility personnel, and quickly reviewing the facility's utility bills. Commercial energy audits are for organizations that want to know what they can do to reduce their energy usage and costs.
The auditor will develop a list of energy conservation actions, identifying no-cost or low-cost energy measures that can substantially reduce energy usage and costs. Some actions will take longer to pay for themselves, while others will start paying for themselves within months. We investigate energy savings potential in:
- Lighting systems
- HVAC Systems and Controls
- Compressed Air Systems
- Renewable Energy Applications
- Electric Motors and Drives
- Process Systems
- Steam Systems
- Heat Recovery
- Building Envelope Upgrades
- Switching Utility Providers or Utility Rates
