As a business, it is crucial to optimize production and cut costs whenever possible, and energy spend is a large expense for many businesses.
Typically when searching for ways to reduce energy usage, the first thought is lighting upgrades, since swapping out a light is a simple and well understood way to reduce energy spend. Additionally, more robust solutions, like HVAC upgrades, are complicated, costly, and poorly understood, putting them well out of reach for most small business owners. This leads many to opt for the simplicity of lighting only upgrades, forgoing the significant energy savings from more robust but complicated HVAC solutions.
While lighting is important, there are numerous other ways to improve comfort and energy savings, beyond just lighting. Benefits of a whole system retrofit include a more comfortable office environment and substantial savings. Energy savings just from HVAC retrofits can account for nearly 30% of the possible monthly savings, and results in improved comfort, due to the upgraded HVAC system and smart thermostats.
