FPL: Business Energy Evaluation
Lower operating costs with energy efficiency help from FPL
Energy costs can be a significant portion of a business’ operating budget, yet many mistakenly treat them as fixed expenses. Cost control can come with managing energy use, and fortunately, there are simple steps that businesses can take to reduce energy use and improve the bottom line.
FPL offers a free and easy way to help you reduce your energy consumption through its Business Energy Evaluation. The program helps businesses understand their electricity usage and identify potential ways to save through efficiency.
When you schedule a BEE, an FPL energy expert will visit your facility for a top-to-bottom examination. Along with the evaluation, the review process includes an analysis of your business’ billing history and a side-by-side review of how your company compares to industry standards for similar businesses. When the evaluation is complete, the specialist provides a personalized energy analysis and recommends ways to improve your business’ energy efficiency. Some of the low- or no-cost measures may be implemented immediately, while others may require some longer-term planning. For smaller businesses, FPL also offers an Online Business Energy Evaluation at www.FPL.com.
Common suggestions include installing a programmable thermostat that automates temperature settings to maximize efficiency according to your hours of operation or adding occupancy sensors that automatically turn off lighting in areas with transient use.
FPL also provides information about potential rebates to help offset the cost of needed equipment upgrades. FPL ’s energy-efficiency incentives can often be the deciding factor when determining whether investing in new equipment is the right decision for a business.
A good energy plan is good business. To register for a BEE or for additional information about FPL tips, programs and incentives to help your business save money, visit www.FPL.com/4BEE or call 877-748-4BEE.
