Key Benefits of Saving Energy

Improving energy efficiency is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways for a business to save money, reduce electricity consumption, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Save Money

Energy costs are 30% of the operating expenses of a typical office building and can be much more for energy-intensive production processes.

A 30% reduction in energy consumption can lower operating costs by $25,000 per year for every 50,000 square feet of office space, according to Flex Your Power.

Reduce Electricity Consumption

Energy reductions can often be attained through no-cost or low-cost projects.

According to ENERGY STAR: Reducing energy costs by as little as 10%, which is typical with standard low cost and no cost measures, can improve net margins by:

4% for an average restaurant
16% for an average supermarket

Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

For every 100 kW·h you save, you reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60 pounds. This is equivalent to a years saving based on switching 4 fluorescent lamps from T12s to T8s.
