🏢Old facilities don’t have to mean high energy use. As part of the business & development team, I believe efficiency starts with small steps: energy audits, switching to LEDs, regular maintenance, and building team awareness. 💡 Outdated infrastructure can still be efficient with smart management. #EnergyEfficiency #FacilityManagement #Sustainability #BusinessDevelopment

Start with low-cost, high-impact fixes: LED retrofits, smart meters, and scheduled maintenance. Then build a phased plan to integrate renewables. In many of our field projects, energy audits uncovered hidden savings without full-scale upgrades.

If you have access to a infrared thermometer I would walk around the building and identify the cold/hot spots. Simple fixes likes new weather stripping on doors and windows can make a different of 5-7 degrees in some cases.

Managing a facility with outdated infrastructure? Start by conducting an energy audit to identify the biggest energy drains—think old HVAC systems, inefficient lighting, or poorly insulated areas. Next, prioritize upgrades with the biggest ROI, like switching to LED lighting or adding programmable thermostats to optimize HVAC use. Implement simple behavior changes too: encourage staff to power down equipment when not in use and seal leaks around windows and doors to improve insulation. For example, one facility I managed cut energy costs 20% by upgrading lighting and automated thermostats. Regular maintenance and monitoring energy use will keep savings on track over time.

Start with an energy audit to identify high-consumption areas. Upgrade lighting to LEDs, install motion sensors, and optimize HVAC settings. Implement preventive maintenance for equipment and seal leaks in insulation or windows. Train staff on energy-saving habits. Small, low-cost improvements can yield significant savings without major infrastructure changes.
