Energy efficiency is the first and most important step to sustainability. It is about doing more with less. By using less, you are cutting energy costs while enhancing your environmental bottom line.
The Environment Shop can help in a variety of ways.
Example: a company we dealt with recently was using 245 halogen downlights in various office and foyer locations. Used 11 hours per day, this lighting uses around 51744 kWh per year, costing $5174. Switching to super efficient micro-fluorescents would increase efficiency by 82% – saving over $4000 per year and reducing greenhouse gas emission by 59,000 kg! And with such drastic increases in efficiency, and less electricity needs, the company is now able to realistically consider solar power as an option!
Your first step to energy efficiency is to call us for a discussion.
