For companies, apart from the obvious savings through becoming more efficient, there are the greencredentials that are associated with energy saving and reducing carbon emissions – companies like to be seendoing their bit for the environment and promote the fact they are green.

The Types of Programs

installing such things asenergy saving light bulbs or occupancy sensors.

However results can get distorted with energysavings either being on the conservative side or hugely overestimated. gain these rebates are for lightingfixtures, heating, ventilation and air conditioning or premium efficiency motors.
Calculated/Custom:
hese are often used in the commercial sector, although more complex they alloworganizations to bring new projects and approaches to the utility – projects that the utility may not be aware of
