Do you know how much energy your building wastes? Thirty percent, according to ENERGY STAR.

The concept of energy efficiency is no longer a new idea, but most commercial buildings still offer several opportunities for improvement. Interested in reducing energy usage? With expert help from Van Meter, you can maximize energy savings without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.

Considering rebates from utility companies, government agencies, and other entities for energy-efficiency investments is an important part of your investment, too; Van Meter will make sure you’re aware of the financial resources available.

LIGHTING

Lighting represents the largest source of electricity consumption in a typical commercial building. But it doesn’t have to be that way in your building. Van Meter lighting experts can conduct a lighting audit to determine how well your current lighting system suits your needs, and then suggest changes to improve lighting quality while reducing lighting energy usage and utility bills. We can also help you incorporate adequate amounts of daylight into your building with dimmers, controls, sensors, and other lighting solutions.

ENERGY AUDITS

Our team of energy-efficiency professionals walks you through the details of your building’s energy use, identifying areas of potential energy waste. Then they recommend solutions to help you cut usage (lighting controls to bring in more daylight, efficient LED lighting, geothermal heating and cooling, etc.). And if you’re not sure how to fund these energy-efficiency initiatives, we can help you identify rebates, credits, and incentives.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Economically viable renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal, are natural, continuous resources. As renewable energy technology improves, and as the government and utilities provide investment incentives, costs are becoming increasingly competitive. Even if you’ve never explored renewable energy as an option before, Van Meter can educate you about the options and help you select the system that’s most appropriate for your building and your site. There’s never been a better time to consider renewable energy as a way to achieve year-round utility savings.
