Results Are In











An electrical audit was performed at our office this autumn as part of our ongoing deep energy retrofit. Striving to save energy and dollars where possible, we are pleased to learn of several opportunities to further reduce our energy consumption and utility expenditures.

According to Paquette Electric’s report, by investing in occupancy sensors, new compact fluorescent bulbs, and T8 lamp ballasts we can save roughly 785 kWh annually which translates into savings of about $155 per year.

We’ll keep you posted on our decisions to implement these measures. In the meantime, through optimizing daylight, turning off peripherals at night (printers, faxes, etc.), and installing CFLs and T5 fluorescent bulbs, we have managed to drastically lower our electrical load, kilowatt hours, and electric bill!
