What is a Small Business Energy Assessment?
What is a Small Business Energy Assessment?
A small business energy assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your building’s performance in energy efficiency, comfort, health, and safety.
Your Grand County, BPI certified, energy analyst conducts the assessment and produces a detailed report including:
Recommended energy improvements, their respective costs, projected savings and ROI.
Energy conservation measures related to air sealing, insulation, lighting, windows and doors, motors and controls, HVAC, heat tape, and appliances.
Have specific goals for your business?
Perhaps you want to address comfort concerns, have equipment replacement plans, carbon reduction goals, lighting needs, expansion plans, or other current challenges.
Discuss the goals with your analyst and they will provide solutions in the report.
Think of it as a customized roadmap to help you reduce energy use, lower energy costs, and make informed decisions based on your goals, priorities, and budget.
