Energy-efficiency involves the use of technology and best practices that require less energy to perform the same task. Through the UtilityModule demand analysis, customers may view their energy consumption benchmarked against similar buildings and similar business processes. This analysis will identify how your building and utility systems are performing compared to average industry standards. By identifying these issues through analysis of the data, our staff can begin recommendations on how to move forward with energy audits or other energy-efficiency measures.

These projects may include lighting retrofits, boiler replacements, additional insulation or upgraded processing equipment.

As with any capital investment project, the costs are compared to the projected savings and the return on investment that would be realized. In many instances, the utility will contribute to the cost of these improvements and subsidize the payback by lowering the capital costs by up to 70%. Please contact your Boston Buying Power representative to begin the process.
