Business Energy Efficiency -                   Energy Management

There are more benefits to energy efficiency than just saving energy dollars. You can also improve equipment reliability and your work environment. These added benefits increase comfort and worker productivity, can improve lease rates, and lead to higher resale value.

You can also "future proof" your facility by making it a high performer that can compete in the future even if energy prices go higher.

Implementing a successful energy efficiency plan for your business begins with the adoption of an Energy Management Strategy. Once your business or organization commits to improving energy efficiency, you can set goals, implement a company energy policy, create an action plan, and evaluate performance of your efficiency plan.

EPA’s ENERGY STAR has developed an Energy Program Assessment Matrix to help businesses determine the effectiveness of their Energy Management Strategy.

Businesses can also utilize the Financial Value Calculator to assess the financial value of their proposed energy efficiency plan. The EPA also recognizes those businesses that commit to implement energy efficiency measures through their ENERGY STAR Partnership program. ENERGY STAR’s communication kit and promotional materials are available to those partners interested in getting the word out about their commitment to energy efficiency and the environment.
