Environment
According to a 2001 Retailer Survey, 93% of consumers believe that
saving energy is important for both the environment and their pocketbooks,
they just don’t know where to start. Financial Energy Management will
provide cost effective solutions which benefit the environment and your
bottom line. Benefit the Earth, Too
Every dollar you save in energy costs has a corresponding environmental
benefit. Energy efficiency reduces the levels of fossil fuels consumed
which reduces the environmental impacts of drilling and mining and reduces
air pollution by lowering power plant emissions. Global warming, acid
rain, and the brown clouds over our cities are very real problems that
every organization can fight by becoming more energy efficient. A
Financial Energy customer produced these reductions in an energy efficient
retrofit of just one facility:
- Coal Burning Avoided Annually: 4,415,660 lbs.
- CO2 Emissions Avoided Annually: 14,424,490 lbs.
- CO2 Equivalent in Trees (trees each absorb 13 lbs. of CO2
per year): 1,109,576 trees
Since the completion of our first energy saving project in 1984,
Financial Energy Management has saved (and continues to save) hundreds of
thousands of kilowatt hours (kWh) and cubic feet of natural gas for
numerous businesses.
Recycling Spent Materials
It is our standard practice to have all retrofitted lighting ballasts
containing PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) incinerated, a permanent and
safe disposal method, by an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved
recycling facility. Mercury containing lamps are also recycled.
Furthermore, all non-toxic retrofitted components are also recycled to
reduce the use of raw materials. |
