The energy bills for a commercial building are no joke. People who have only ever looked at residential energy bills have no idea. So when those bills start rising even higher, you notice right away. But you might not know what’s causing it. After all, those utilities cover a wide range of energy needs in your building.
The first thing you should consider in this situation is your HVAC system. When your commercial energy costs are going up and you don’t know why, your commercial HVAC system is the most likely culprit.
Summer temperatures are nothing to scoff at in our area. But even with temperatures soaring, if you own or manage a commercial space or a business in the area, you’re likely focused on things like your customers, employees, tenants, and/or bottom line—not necessarily whether or not your commercial space is comfortable.
