Energy audits find ways to help organizations save money.  As energy costs rise, the benefits of improving energy efficiency are apparent. But to make those gains, organizations almost always have to purchase services or equipment that makes the energy
savings possible.

How does an organization pay for such upgrades? A variety of financing options are available. One of the most popular ways to pay for the work is directly from the energy savings realized by the upgrade.

Take, for example, a school. This school needs to upgrade its lights to new, high-output florescent models. But the new lamps cost $1000. By doing an energy audit, the school learns that installing the new lights will net a $250 decrease in annual energy costs. A simple payback calculation determines that the lights will pay for themselves within
four years.

In the case above, E2P2 Solutions would pay for the lamps upfront, and then the school would repay the cost from the savings it realizes.

Other financing options are available, however. Please see the “Links” page or contact us to learn more about financing options.
