CEG has the experience and expertise to seamlessly upgrade industrial facilities to reduce utility and operational costs. Our holistic projects typically include more than the typical water and HVAC measures. Some of our most impactful energy efficiency upgrades have been the result of our experience with compressed air systems, refrigeration systems, water purification plants, and other industrial processes. Moreover, because many industrial sites have a large base heating or electric load and large roof or land space, alternative energy installations like CHP or solar PV are typically more viable at industrial sites.

At the average office building, about 30% of energy is wasted – most of it during peak-use times when energy prices are highest. Approximately 70% of an office’s energy use relates to lighting and space conditioning, two areas where we can typically have an immediate impact. We also consider how you can engage your occupants to drive further reduction and a sustainability of savings for your property. CEG can tailor a plan to your office that achieves your desired level of cost and energy savings.

Supermarket stores in the U.S. spend on average more than $4 per square foot on energy, consuming around 50kWh and 50 cubic feet of natural gas per square foot per year. In a typical supermarket, refrigeration and lighting represent 44-77% of total use depending on climate, making these systems the best targets for energy savings. Especially since the profit margins of supermarkets are so thin, on the order of 1%, ENERGY STAR estimates that one dollar in energy savings is equivalent to increasing sales by $59!
