New Guide Reveals Low-Cost Ways Organizations Can Lower Electric Costs by 15% or More

 
[18-August-2008]
 

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Many organizations are feeling the pinch of high electric costs this summer, but for those willing to make a few cost-effective changes, immediate relief is available. That's the focus of Low-Cost, High-Yield Energy-Saving Tips for Organizations, a free guide just released by energy consulting firm Evergreen Energy Solutions.

"Most organizations don't realize that with a modest financial investment and just a few weeks' time, they can lower their electric bills forever," says David Simon, CEO of Evergreen Energy Solutions. "This guide is designed to help organizations understand and navigate the simple strategies that can lower their energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint."

Among the cost-reducing strategies detailed in the guide:

-- Equipment: cost-effective methods to save power, reduce maintenance costs, and increase longevity. "Motors, pumps and compressors typically operate inefficiently, like a sailboat with its sails trimmed improperly," says Simon. "By correctly 'trimming the sails' on its equipment, an organization can save thousands of dollars per year."

-- Cooling systems: easy ways to lower costs and boost output in air conditioning, air handling and refrigeration systems. "The cost to run cooling systems can double in the summer," says Simon, "but there are many ways to fight back."

-- Lighting: how to reduce lighting costs -- even after you've already replaced incandescent bulbs with fluorescents. Most organizations appreciate the need to replace inefficient incandescent lighting, but fluorescent lighting can cause its own problems. Harmonic distortion can reduce the efficiency of fluorescent lighting by 10%-30%. There are simple ways to address harmonics and reduce the ongoing cost of lighting.

By following the steps outlined in the guide, an organization can reduce its electric costs by 15% or more. For an organization with monthly electric usage of 500,000 kilowatts, a 15% reduction would lower annual electric bills by $100,000 or more and cut annual carbon emissions by more than 500 tons.
