Energy use for heating and air conditioning accounts for more than 25% of the primary energy consumed in commercial buildings in the United States. Energy use for heating and cooling has long been a target for reduction efforts and significant efficiency improvements have been achieved over the years in these efforts.  However, in spite of these efforts, energy use for space conditioning remains a very large portion of the total national energy use picture and still provides significant opportunity for energy use reduction.
ENERGY STAR qualified light commercial HVAC equipment uses 7 to 10% less energy than standard equipment and can save your business $3 to $4 per square foot over the life of the equipment.  For example, a 12,000 square foot building using an ENERGY STAR qualified HVAC product could save as much as $36,000 to $48,000.
In addition, humidifiers, air cleaners and ventilators help maintain optimal humidity levels and keep inside air fresh and clean, while zoning systems can eliminate hot and cold spots which can reduce heating and cooling costs up to 40%.    

Another important system in your business is the electricity that powers your day to day operations.  Power outages can happen for a variety of reasons: extreme weather can leave your business in the dark for a few hours or even several days.  Automatic Standby Generators can provide power to your business in about thirty seconds so you can continue to heat and cool your building, power computers, phone systems, refrigeration systems, time clocks, cash registers and security systems – anything vital to keeping your property safe, comfortable and operational.
