What would you do with an extra $261,681 in your operations budget? Expand your service capabilities? Invest in your workforce? Take on some much need renovations? Most small businesses like the idea of optimizing their energy efficiency but the thought of putting the time, and most importantly, the money towards that effort seems daunting. However, hesitating to address your efficiency issues today could mean a loss of thousands of dollars over time.
The Challenge
Many businesses struggle to know where to start when they are faced with improving energy efficiency. Some may feel that the incremental improvement is not worth the time and effort.

All this can be done through a strategic action plan which involves an in-depth energy audit, evaluating your usage, understanding how to better monitor it and by establishing contracts to lock in the best utility rates.
