8. Municipal Facility – Energy Savings Opportunities
This was a four story office building with a bank on the ground floor—lots of computers and other plug loads. By utilizing power strips the occupants eliminated “Phantom Loads”; they also implemented a computer hibernation policy. They adjusted the intake temperature on the air handler and used programmable thermostats to reduce heat & A/C nights and weekend.

9. Municipal Facility - Utility Expense Reduction
Total Savings 16%

10. Restaurant – Energy Savings Opportunities

11. Restaurant Utility – Utility Expense Reduction
Total Savings 19%

12. No-Cost/Low-Cost Energy Efficiency Ideas
Establish an Energy Management Team
Talk to your Utility Representative
TOYS: Turn Off Your Stuff
Set back thermostats
Install LED exit signs
Regulate vending machines
Activate computer hibernation
Install power strips
Our first recommendation - when companies form and empower cross-functional energy teams they usually find savings that take little or no cash outlay to implement. Our experience has show an average of 3% savings just by making people aware of energy use and making behavioral changes (turning things off; HVAC set backs, production schedule changes)
