Energy Efficiency Screening Studies

Energy efficiency screening studies are offered to address overall energy efficiency potential and to identify specific Power Smart electric and natural gas energy saving opportunities within an industrial facility.

These studies are currently being included as part of our basic customer service at no charge to the customer.

Benefits

These studies promote a systems approach rather than a component approach when projects are evaluated for energy efficiency.

A systems approach recognizes that opportunities for energy savings occur in both the supply side (equipment and controls) and the demand side (distribution network and end uses) of a system.

Energy efficiency screening studies can provide your facility with many related benefits that include:

• analysis of existing electric and natural gas consumption patterns and trends;
• benchmarking energy consumption to industry averages;
• walk-through energy assessment to identify and inventory major points of energy consumption;
• end-use energy breakdown of the facility;
• identifying and prioritizing potential Power Smart energy saving opportunities.

These studies provide direction and referral to the various investigation and implementation incentives available from the Power Smart Performance Optimization Program.
