Developing the most effective ways to use energy in any business is one of the most effective ways to lower overhead. Completing a Predominant Use Study allows a company to maximize the utility sales tax exception. It can also lead to insight as to how to more effectively manage their energy use. When combined with an energy audit, the cost savings for the business can be significant.
A utility survey can be done at any time. Hiring an outside company with experience in evaluating current energy use and making recommendations to reduce energy consumption is the best option. In addition, the provider should have experience in completing these types of surveys, including the process of determining devices on the system that are energy efficient and those that are inefficient.
The use of a utility survey or an energy audit can include a wide range of recommendations to lower electricity use in a building, facility, or plant. Knowing where inefficiencies exist in the building or facility allows the business to prioritize repairs, replacements, or new equipment investments to reduce energy use.
Consider Operational Logistics
Processing, manufacturing, and heavy equipment are the highest drain on energy consumption in any operation. Maximizing the efficiency of these systems to reduce operating time at peak capacity levels can help decrease energy use. Operating process equipment in cooler hours of the day rather than during the hottest parts of the day also helps to reduce over energy consumption in the building.
Change Lighting
In offices, on work floors, and throughout large plants and facilities, converting traditional incandescent bulbs to CFL or LED can dramatically reduce energy use. While this may seem like a simple change, a utility survey highlights the cost savings of this lighting system conversion.
