Why Energy Efficiency Assessments?
The cost of public water treatment, either for drinking water supply or wastewater discharge, can be a significant burden for municipalities, especially when the infrastructure is aged or inapprorpriately sized for the community it serves. An energy efficiency assessment is the first step to discovering cost-effective solutions by identifying potential cost and energy savings behaviors or upgrades. Typically, energy efficiency assessments cost could cost municipalities between $6,000 to $12,000.
After an on-site or virtual facility assessment has been completed and energy use data gathered for benchmarking, a final assessment report is generated. The final report will offer recommendations for energy efficiency improvements, approximate upfront costs for retrofits or upgrades, estimated return on investment information, and potential energy and financial savings.
