While reviewing a facility’s energy usage profile, a VCx energy advisor noticed potentially unnecessary daily demand between 5:00 pm – 10:30 pm and weekend usage when the building was unoccupied. A tailored recommendation was created with several no-cost, easy-to-implement operational adjustments to reduce energy usage.
