Monthly Client Focus:
Success Story
Beldon Roofing, Inc. participated in the Energy Saving Solutions (eS2) program to reduce overhead costs and save energy. The eS2 team conducted an energy analysis of three buildings including measuring each building's lighting needs, insulation levels and the heating and cooling systems. After an on-site visit and review of Beldon's utility bills, the eS2 team provided Beldon with a list of recommendations for improving energy efficiency. Beldon is projected to save $8,000 - $10,000 in 2012.
"Andrea Nocito and the Energy Saving Solutions (eS2) program far exceeded our expectations. From the initial, very thorough investigations, to the well written presentation, we were amazed at the savings opportunities. This program is a must for anyone looking to create less of a carbon foot print and/or anyone that just wants to save money." - Brad Beldon, Beldon Roofing. |
