CCES Performs Energy Evaluation for a Child Care Center

Climate Change & Environmental Services (CCES) performed an energy evaluation for a child care/senior care center in New York. The 20,000 square foot building had energy bills (electricity and gas) averaging about $10,000 per month. Energy costs threatened the financial viability of the center. A determination of potential energy saving strategies – small and large – to reduce energy usage and peak electric demand was needed.

CCES performed a comprehensive energy audit, meeting ASHRAE Level II standards on the center. CCES reviewed 3 years of recent energy usage and performed a walkthrough of the facility, collecting data. CCES developed a list of 10 strategies to reduce electricity and/or gas usage, all with positive payback, ranging from purchasing only ENERGY STAR products to upgrades of their HVAC system and installation of solar PV panels. CCES also recommended avenues to maximize financial incentives to partially pay the cost of implementing many of these suggested strategies.

The child care center was pleased with the long list of potential strategies, and will likely implement most, if not all of them in the near future to dig out of their heavy energy bills.

Rapid Payback and Solid ROI

There has literally been a revolution in energy-saving technologies in only the past few years. Not theoretical, but proven strategies that work in the field. A CCES energy audit can identify and cost out smart strategies to reduce energy use and costs quickly at your specific facility, paying back the investment in a short time.

Attract Tenants and Buyers

In addition to saving energy costs, CCES can identify smart strategies to help your building undeniably be more “green” which is of growing importance to more and more tenants and buyers. Whether you wish to meet an established certification standard like LEED or WELL, or more informal, CCES can identify and implement features to attract others.
