Commercial Energy Audits
The Kerrville Public Utility Board can help reduce your electric
bill with a commercial energy audit. This TexasWi$e program is a
free service to our commercial customers. A KPUB representative
will inspect your business and with a written report, make recommendations
for improving the energy efficiency of the building envelope and
equipment. Commercial energy audits will be scheduled during normal
business hours according to staff availability. KPUB staff does
not make repairs to customer's equipment. An energy audit can be
a valuable tool to help you understand your energy usage and the
resulting bill. Call today to schedule an appointment with a KPUB
technician.
Some of the items we inspect are:
Building Envelope:
The commercial building may be unique in its design or structure
but should still be energy efficient. Proper levels of insulation
in the appropriate places will keep heat transfer to manageable
levels. Large glass areas can be treated to control summer heat
gain.
Lighting:
Existing light may not be the most efficient type currently available.
Fixtures/lenses can be cleaned to restore diminished lighting levels.
Older florescent fixtures can be upgraded with more efficient electronic
ballasts and new tubes.
Process Equipment:
Maintain equipment properly for most efficient operation. In some
cases, older electric motors can be replaced with newer more efficient
motors at very little incremental cost.
Scheduling Usage:
Demand peaks can in some cases be lowered by proper scheduling.
Duty-cycling, load-shed and demand-shaving are options for some
customers with large seasonal demands. Energy management options
vary according to the type of business.
