Recently, it was reported in The Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy 2020 Commercial Buildings Integration Program that 30% of all energy consumed by commercial buildings is wasted and this presents enormous potential to reduce energy consumption in existing and new commercial buildings. That’s just the low hanging fruit. What would a 30% energy expense reduction do to your balance sheet?

What’s preventing Energy Projects from happening? Today 80%-90% of Americas largest corporations have an Energy Manager or an outside Energy Consultant to design a comprehensive energy management solution for their organizations. For everyone else there are various reasons such as; lacking the personnel, lacking the expertise, lacking an understanding of the financial benefits of a sustainability plan, fear of seeking help, distrust in the economic benefits of building upgrades or lacking the understanding of the ratio of cost and benefit over time, lacking the initiative and or have a flawed understanding of a financial funding model for their building mechanical assets.

Although there are multiple reasons why projects or energy efficiency measures are not taken the three most popular reasons which occur over 80% of the time are; 1. We don’t have the necessary funding; 2.We don’t have the time or 3. We’re not convinced that the promised savings will really be materialized.

What’s so alarming, is that after 12 years in the Energy Efficiency Industry we’ve found that 50% of all those folks are struggling to maintain and keep operating, old highly inefficient, obsolescent, hanging by a thread covered with duct tape equipment. And what’s even more alarming is that their maintenance cost and energy consumption cost due to the equipment being so highly inefficient is that these folks paid for the new equipment they needed, two to three times over.
