Societies throughout the world consume ever increasing amounts of non-renewable energy. The best, easiest and most profitable way to reduce consumption is through energy conservation. Employing automated controls and more efficient machines reduce waste and operating costs.
Examples:
An electric vehicle (EV) converts over 77% of the electrical energy from the grid to power at the wheels* Traditional internal gas powered vehicles convert 30% of the fuel from their tank to power at the wheels.
Commercial grade LED lights deliver 150 to 200 lumens per Watt*. Fluorescent lamps typically deliver 60 lumens per Watt, while occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting save up to an additional 20%.
The average family car is parked 95% of the time* while car-share EV program vehicles have a utility rate many times higher.
As renewable energy becomes more efficient and cheaper to produce, perhaps it now makes economic sense to suppliment your grid tied energy needs. Covid has disrupted work and life while accelerating change that pushes adoption of new energy saving technologies.. Now's the time to start improving your bottom line, reducing waste energy and investigating whether rooftop solar PV is viable.
