It goes without saying that the majority of businesses would enjoy some extra cash. Here's 5 strategies to improve your cash flow with no or little investment on your part.
Opt for Quick Energy Saving Fixes: If your staff is working remotely or at reduced capacity, a quick and easy way to save on energy costs is by making sure all computers and office equipment are in “stand-by” mode when not in use. Plugging equipment into energy-efficient power strips, which can be turned off when not in use, can reduce energy use even further.
Installing occupancy sensors indoors, and motion-sensing lights outdoors, will keep lights off when no one is present in the office, reducing energy waste and increasing cost savings with relatively little ongoing maintenance necessary. Smart thermostats are another relatively low-cost, high-reward opportunity to increase energy savings throughout your facility, and they can even be managed remotely.
Leasing Opportunities: For landowners and building owners - You can now lease your land or rooftop for a community solar project and receive a long-term, stable income stream for up to 25 years. With little interaction from your premises, it is simple to employ your unused open space to create substantial new income. To learn more about this process and net metering - visit our Solar Glossary.
Kickstart Your Energy Management Strategy: Whether at home or in the office, now is a great time to evaluate the way your business currently manages energy. Kickstarting a strategic energy management (SEM) program is an effective way to uncover short and long-term cost savings and efficiencies. Manage your energy holistically across the business organization.
The best part? A virtual Energy 360 Program, which employs an utility audit approach to unlock energy saving opportunities, prioritize findings, and calculate your potential energy savings while fitting in your schedule.
Upgrade Your Heating and Cooling Systems: Now is a great time to take a thorough look at upgrading your business’s current heating and cooling system. Better, more efficient technologies, such as heat pumps, are making it possible for businesses to keep employees comfortable year-round, save energy, and reduce their carbon footprint. Through your local utility and qualified solutions providers, there are a number of programs and incentives available for businesses of all sizes to help you make an energy upgrade.
