Energy is one of the largest expenses for any commercial business, yet many business owners are missing out on simple ways to reduce their energy waste and lower costs. Below are common ways businesses are wasting energy, and minor changes they can make to see important savings...
Not Having, Or Not Following, a HVAC Schedule
Most businesses have temperature set-points established, but not enforced. External weather conditions, control changes made by staff, and outdated equipment can cause set-points to stray and energy to be wasted. By establishing and automating a set-point schedule tailored to your businesses needs, you can focus on comfort during peak hours and savings during slower and unoccupied times.
Leaving HVAC Units, Lights, or Equipment Turned On
Leaving equipment on no doubt contributes to how businesses are wasting energy, but you would be surprised how often data finds instances where parking lights are being left on during the day, an HVAC is on full blast over night during summer months, or even where employees have left dangerous kitchen equipment on while the location was unoccupied. Collecting data can provide insight to these energy-wasting contributors.
Not Repairing or Replacing Malfunctioning Equipment
Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance can be costly, but not as costly as a replacement unit or the downtime that results from a unit that has failed. Proper maintenance can extend the life of an HVAC unit. Scheduling a traditional seasonal maintenance checkup, an electrical contractor can provide insight into the health of each unit and enable a business to identify and put maintenance needs into prospective.
Turning All Equipment On At The Same Time
Doesn't sound like much until you figure out that energy is being wasted. Powering all of your heating or air units, lights, and equipment on at the same time can create a large peak load for the day and become extremely expensive if done on a regular basis. By staggering the times that each one is turned on, you can lower your demand (surge) and your cost.
