Costly Misconceptions about Energy Reduction Plans
1.???? Energy Conservation Savings are Not Real.? Just imaginary: ?Not true.? First, energy savings are real.? It is all arithmetic.? Engineering math that is proven.? It is a science using known variables.? There is no guesswork involved and the actual cost of the project and results can be known in advance.
?
2.???? Your building needs to be LEED-certified to be Energy Efficient:? This is simply not true.? You do not need to hire expensive architects and engineers to redesign your building to become energy efficient.? LEED-certification can be a very expensive road to go down and it has multiple levels with escalating costs.? Construction costs can be 30% to 35% higher and it does not guarantee energy efficiency.
?
3.???? You Need to Hire A 3rd Party Consultant to Conduct An Energy Audit and Survey:? A lot of experts and consultants will tell you that you need to pay for an energy audit.?? That is not true.? You do not have to pay Advisors Energy Group upfront for an energy audit.?? We are willing to commit to the actual cost of your project because we know exactly what needs to be done.?? We can amortize the cost of your project on your utility bill.? We apply for incentives and rebates for your project.?
?
4.???? Energy Star’s Project Manager Tells You What Your Energy Reduction Plan Project will Cost: ?This is often spread by experts and consultants who are encouraging you to hire them to do surveys, audits, and reports.? It is true, the Energy Star Project Manager can accurately predict how much energy you will save and what your Energy Star rating will be….it cannot tell you how much your project will cost.? It makes good sense to engage a solutions company like Advisors Energy Group that is going to do the work and have us create your energy reduction plan for you.? We will commit to the total cost of the project in advance.? You should have the people who create your plan accept some of the risk and “own” the numbers they quote.
?Let us know if we can assist you or if you need additional information about?your utility invoice or reducing your building's electricity and natural gas costs.
