Reducing Energy Waste in Your Commercial Business
Commercial buildings waste an average of 30% of the energy they consume, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Not only does that have a negative impact on the environment, but it can also significantly impact your bottom line. Energy efficiency reduces waste, shrinks your carbon footprint, and ultimately saves money.
How to Make Your Commercial Business Energy Efficient
An energy audit is an excellent starting point. It serves as an ideal way to identify the property’s strengths and weaknesses.
From there, it’s all about taking action. In some cases, it may be a matter of making small, energy efficient changes like maximizing daylight exposure and switching to energy certified equipment. In other instances, enhancing commercial business performance may require replacing insulation, sealing air leaks, and waterproofing the property.
Why It’s Important to Insulate Your Commercial Building
The importance of insulation can never be understated. It’s a critical component in commercial buildings, improving performance and comfort while helping protect your investment. Insulation increases buildings’ longevity, and choosing the right insulation materials protects framing and structural elements with weather-and moisture-resistance.
Good insulation also reduces thermal transfer, keeping your building cooler in summer and warmer in winter. As a result, insulation helps make interior spaces more comfortable while reducing the stress on HVAC systems and reducing energy consumption and waste.
New Construction and Remodeling
Whether you’re retrofitting existing buildings to replace or upgrade insulation or insulating new commercial construction, Wisconsin Home Improvement can provide the expert services you need. Our highly trained technicians can insulate interior spaces, building exteriors, and critical elements like basements, foundations, crawl spaces, and balconies.
Commercial Insulation Benefits
Insulation provides an excellent return on investment (ROI), making the investment well worth the effort, particularly as the energy savings alone can help offset the costs. Benefits of insulation solutions for businesses include:
- Buildings are easier to heat and cool.
- Energy bills are reduced without sacrificing comfort.
- Optimal temperature regulation is achieved, which can boost worker productivity.
- Ambient noise is reduced for a more enjoyable environment.
- Less stress on HVAC systems maximizes the life of the equipment.
- Moisture control increases structural integrity and air quality.
- Improved fire resistance leads to improved safety.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Together with erosion control, waterproofing, and air sealing, insulation can help drastically reduce the amount of energy your business uses and wastes. Enhanced commercial business performance helps you go green while saving money. In turn, the building also requires less energy from utility providers and helps reduce emissions across the board.
Water Sealing Your Business
Commercial waterproofing can help protect your investment and improve energy efficiency. Our expert team will identify the areas where water and moisture are infiltrating your building. Our professional waterproofing solutions help enhance moisture control, improve air quality, and better regulate interior temperatures and energy use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Explore some of the common questions we get regarding commercial business performance and energy efficiency. If you don’t see your question, feel free to reach out, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Why is insulation important in commercial buildings?
Commercial buildings waste up to 30% of the energy they use. Insulation can help enhance energy efficiency, boost building performance, and create healthier, more comfortable interior spaces. It also plays a critical role in mitigating moisture issues, which can help preserve structural integrity.
How do I reduce energy costs in my commercial building?
Using landscaping to add shading to sun-drenched areas, maximizing natural light to minimize the need for artificial lighting, and installing energy efficient systems can help. Adding or replacing insulation, sealing air leaks, and waterproofing the building can also reduce energy costs.
Is it worth insulating a metal building?
Insulating metal buildings is mission critical. Doing so helps create comfortable indoor environments, and it also keeps condensation and moisture at bay. It also is essential for avoiding mold, mildew, and corrosion, which can degrade metal buildings’ integrity and create significant health hazards.
Can you inspect and recommend improvements for my business?
Our BPI-certified technicians have the training and expertise needed to provide thorough, detailed inspections. We will identify your business’ strengths and weaknesses and use those findings to develop recommendations for helping your commercial property achieve improved performance.
What is a commercial energy audit?
Like a residential energy audit, commercial energy audits assess the entire building and its systems to identify how it uses energy. Whether you’re experiencing challenges, like drafty interiors or increasing energy bills, or you want to evaluate your commercial building proactively, we can help. In addition to conducting a visual inspection, our technicians use specialized testing methods to measure your commercial property’s performance.
