Potential Savings From an Energy Audit

Efficient use of resource reap big returns. Assessments like building condition surveys, ESA and physical needs assessments guard for the future and tell a business owner how to make his or her building run more efficiently.

The same goes for energy. By taking efforts to reduce energy use, you can save at least hundreds of dollars a year. After an energy audit, businesses often save anywhere from 15 to 40 percent on energy costs. That's a lot of money to be saving every year. On top of the savings you'll naturally get from performing an energy audit, you can also save money on the actual repairs.

With President Obama's recently approved American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, you can be reimbursed up to $6,500 for efficiency repairs. On top of that you can get an energy audit done on the cheap with a tax credit.
