SUPPLY CHAIN/LOGISTICS
In the supply chain, the overall cost of a product equals the sum of the cost of goods sold, production costs and margin. Production costs are composed of holding costs, labor and any cost associated with producing a good. Energy is one of those – and it is a significant one. Lowering the outgoing cashflow to the utility on the P&L raises the bottom line and gives you a greater margin or an edge over your competitor – or both. Read more on energy efficiency in the supply chain.
GOVERNMENT
If there has ever been a time for government implementation of energy efficient solutions it is now. With the largest recession since the Great Depression and literally $Trillions of taxpayer dollars being spent to stimulate the economy, isn’t it about time we quit wasting tax dollars on inefficient and environmentally damaging products? State governments have been given $Millions to retrofit government buildings, street lights, traffic signals, etc, with energy efficient technology. Do you have the strength to make a difference?
COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL
Along the same lines as the supply chain, the cost of your product, good or service can only be as low as the input costs – and your margin a.k.a. the money you pay your employees and the money you take your family to the beach with in July can either be saved or spent. EPC and CLGL helps you to keep those costs down in your store and we put money back in your pocket.
Restaurants are some of the largest users (and losers) of energy. With big ovens, A/C, doors opening and closing to the street and many other applications of using energy, it makes sense that restaurants take these easy steps to lowering energy costs.
Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, isn’t the leader in energy efficiency and renewable energy applications into their stores for no reason. They see the results in their stock price and shareholder’s smiles. So can you.
MEDICAL/EDUCATIONAL
Medical and educational facilities use an enormous amount of electricity, with lights being burned constantly in medical facilities and enormous operational costs, energy efficient technology may not pay for your next doctors visit if you don’t have the right insurance but it will definitely help the owners to keep costs down. Maybe the cost of that fruit cup in the cafeteria will remain the same next year at least.
Schools go along with the government solutions in a way as well. Tax dollars run most of our children’s education so wouldn’t it be a wise thing to do to cut energy costs and buy more books?!
DEVELOPING WORLD
Unlike the US and Western Europe where there has been and most likely will always be a constant flow of electricity to our homes and businesses, the developing world sees energy in a different light. In parts of Africa, South/Central America and Asia, generators are used to backup the grid when there are blackouts or brownouts. With 50% of a building’s energy being used on lighting, implementation of LED’s would do two things in the developing world, 1.) free up energy on the grid to be used in other applications, causing fewer brownouts and blackouts and 2.) free up capital presently used to pay for energy. With so much of the world living on less than $1/day, reinvestment of any capital in the developing world can go a long way.
