Certify that the investment in electricity recycling equipment has reaped financial benefits. By comparing a business’ monthly bills between one year and the next, savings can be verified. A simple comparison of the dollar amounts can be misleading. Many different factors must be taken into account. These factors include:
- Weather changes – Differences in temperature affect how much air conditioning/heating is used during the month.
- Business variability – As the business grows, the utility costs can increase. However, the cost per customer may remain the same or decrease depending upon the nature of the business. A similar situation occurs when a business shrinks. Savings validation will use key metrics to normalize the business variability during the certification process. This gives the business owner insight into its key operating cost metrics.
- Equipment changes – Adding and/or removing equipment from a business can affect the number of kilowatt-hours needed to operate the business. Renovations can have similar effects.
- The certification report is personalized for each business installation.
