The Power Of OFF

Most people won't even look at this page.
You're smarter than that.

One of our customers put it this way: "I used to think it was all just price, price, price. But now I see it like a game: I can pass for a touchdown, I can run for a touchdown, I can score on special teams, I can score on defense. I can even put together a couple of field goals instead of always thinking touchdown. You've got to save whatever way you can." We agree.

In the emerging energy market, the customers who will save the most will be the ones who are aggressive and opportunistic on all fronts. That means the best price; it also means the wisest use. The sooner you take control of your energy use, the more you will save in the long term.

There's a common perception that "energy management" is synonymous with "doing without:" that conservation means dark corners and hallways, cold rooms, diminished productivity, disgruntled employees and expensive hardware upgrades. This is simply not true. Cost Containment want to help change that perception once and for all.

In fact, we may find substantial energy savings without impacting your living and working environment at all. America spends billions of dollars every year putting heat and light where it is not needed. Buildings shine brightly long after everyone has gone home for the night, rooms are heated and cooled when no one is there, and low-efficiency equipment is kept when it could easily be retired and upgraded.

This is low-hanging fruit, and trimming this kind of unnecessary cost has never been easier or more affordable. Intelligent meters, boiler and HVAC controls which sense and react to the environment, programmable light switches and other intelligent technology have come down substantially in price. Initial costs can be recouped faster than ever before, after which your enjoy years of pure savings. High tech not your style? Just know when to hit the light switch. Cost Containment, Intl. can go beyond our standard SEAP (Strategic Energy Asset Plan) and do a full facility audit. We'll bring you a complete set of recommendations. You pick the options that match your budget, savings goal and, just as importantly, your tolerance for change.

The smarter user always gets the better price.

There's an added benefit to energy management: it usually means that Cost Containment Intl. can get you an even better price. Your energy management plan helps you even out the highs and low of your energy demand, both hour to hour and day to day. In the language of the industry, that's called a high load factor. Energy providers really like customers with high load factors. And that translates into better deals.

Best of all, energy conservation is something that can be started at any time, and where you can use initial savings to finance more extensive savings down the line. You don't have to do it all at once. Do what you can, then build on it.

The cheapest energy is always the energy you don't use. Cost Containment Intl. will show you where to find it.
