How Energy Efficiency Saves $130,000 Year-Over-Year

Energy solutions from Power of Clean Energy help organizations across the country cut costs each month by finding and fixing the underlying inefficiencies in their facilities. Our holistic approach creates a plan that prioritizes energy efficiency investments based on what offers the greatest ROI.

Challenges

The energy use index (EUI) for the United Methodist Publishing House was double its region's average. Like many buildings, the space had a combination of old and new HVAC infrastructure and software installed by multiple providers. By focusing on lowering energy costs, UM Publishing could save more each month and reinvest those dollars in its business.

Solutions

After an in-depth audit of the company’s infrastructure, PCE delivered a proposal to fix the problems causing the spike in EUI. PCE converted all the facility’s lights to LED, unified their HVAC equipment onto a single platform, and installed software to track energy usage in real time. This allowed UM Publishing to proactively identify and correct problems and reduce maintenance costs.
