Commercial Energy Efficiency Audits

Restaurants

Did you know that the Department of Energy identifies restaurants as key targets for energy reduction in the United States?  In fact, restaurants have the potential for realizing 50% energy savings with quick pay-backs of five years or less.  BSES assists fast food restaurants, quick service restaurants and full service restaurant owners with perfoming energy audits and energy modeling.  BSES can help you make those savings a reality for your restaurant.

One type of specific commercial energy audit that is available is designed especially for restaurants.  Incentives and rebate programs are revealed through an energy audit as well as real-dollar energy savings that will build your restaurants bottom line into the future!

Among commercial spaces, restaurants rank among the most energy-intensive businesses in the United States.  Cooking equipment, HVAC, lighting and sanitation can eat up huge amounts of energy dollars.  An energy audit and green retrofit can result in thousands of  dollars in annual savings.  If your restaurant operates with a 5% profit margin, you need about $10,000 in sales to earn $500.  With this in mind, a $1,000 savings in energy use could be like increasing sales by $20,000!

Because your business is different than other commercial businesses, your energy audit will address items of concern for the restaurant industry.  Data for more than 100 energy conservation measures will be provided in your individual report in the following general areas:

  • Comercial Kichen Appliances
  • HVAC and Mechanical Systems
  • Lighting and Electrical Measures
  • Building Envelope Measures
  • Water Usage and Consumption

Whether you are a large national restaurant chain or a small restaurant entrepreneur, BSES can help you to cut energy costs, indentify financial incentives, navigate the regulations, train your staff, build your profitability and most importantly reduce your carbon footprint.  BSES has over 100 years of combined experience on staff.  Call BSES today at 616-887-2311 and we will arrange for one of our restaurant energy experts to contact you.
