I notice that its difficult to manage a business energy costs. We want to focus in conducting projects for our facilities about energy savings but we thought about a consultant that can assist us in relation to any customized solutions and strategic measures towards delivering positive results. Can you share about energy cost saving opportunities?
LED lights is a huge one across the spectrum, Can you give us some idea about what type of business you are dealing with?
There's solar, both panels and as a way to heat your water. Small scale windmill. There's lots more but depends on your budget and type of business. Government agencies, city and other bodies of the type sometimes have grants available for retrofits.
All depends the kind of business you're working with, but it's all about solar nowadays but if you're in the right environment, there are other tools you can utilize that throw waste in, get energy, and save costs for running your business whether it's land clearing or some other type of business.
Climate plays a big factor too.. Waste oil heaters & LED's will show a return the fastest.. w/o much up front cost.
First thing to identify is where you use the most power, and then which of those uses are most economically reduced, either reducing the use or improving the efficiency. I'm sure there are consultants all over. I'm more familiar with US residential efficiency, and there are state/utility subsidized consultants that will inspect a home, come up with a plan of improvement, and come back after the work is done to measure it's effectiveness.
