Commercial Energy Saving Products for Your Business, Church or Synagogue
Many small to medium businesses in Virginia Beach & North Carolina are not on the most advantageous energy rate. A major part of the electricity bill for most commercial, church and synagogue rates is not based upon the number of kilowatt-hours you consume, but is based on the highest demand peak you reached during the month.
In some rates, it is based upon the highest demand peak you reached anytime during the last year. That means, if you reach a very high demand peak in July or January, you will continue to pay for that peak in every month for twelve months thereafter.
The demand peak is caused by the simultaneous operation of equipment. Most of the time, this is caused by the random and unnecessary operation of background loads. The Energy Sentry® manages this process in a seamless way that is not intrusive and is under your total control. It is preprogrammed for you to provide energy savings without inconveniences, impact on operations or discomfort for customers or employees.
What are the Energy Savings?
On average, the Energy Sentry saves 10-40% on electric bills per year. For smaller commercial customers this can be around $X,000 and for larger commercial and industrial customers this can be as much as $XX,000. Savings depend heavily on each building’s unique situation given the amount and type of controllable loads, the current load factor percentage, and the utility’s demand rates. Most Energy Sentry systems pay for themselves within 1-3 years.
