Retail stores face tough competition from online companies today, so retail building owners and store managers are taking a hard look at operating costs. Reducing energy use is an effective way to cut overhead, even in unleased retail spaces. Lighting, cooling and heating represent about 60 percent of total electricity use in retail buildings, making those systems good targets for energy savings.
There are a number of energy-saving opportunities for retail facilities with payback periods that make economic sense. With careful planning and the right ComEd Energy Efficiency Program incentives, you can maximize efficiency and ensure a reasonable return on your investment.
Call 1-855-433-2700 and request a Facility Assessment. A ComEd energy engineer will assess your facility and equipment for potential electrical savings during a two-hour site walkthrough.
Within a month, you will receive a high-level summary recommending energy-saving changes and upgrades that can improve the energy efficiency of your business.
After you have decided which energy-saving improvements you want to make, consult the ComEd Energy Efficiency Service Provider Directory to find a contractor who can provide the products and services you need and help you apply for ComEd Energy Efficiency Program incentives.
