energy efficient enterprises overview

The cost of energy is rising in America and around the world. At the same time, our global climate is warming as a result of increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The latter is negatively affecting air quality, human health and the outlook for agriculture. Fortunately, each and every one of us can do something to ease the situation and save money by adopting energy efficient measures.

MACED’s Energy Efficient Enterprises project seeks to:

• Improve energy efficiency in small and midsize enterprises to keep utility costs low and to reduce pollution emissions.

• Provide high quality energy assessments to enterprises that result in actionable recommendations.

• Assist with choosing vendors and types of equipment for upgrades and installations.

• Offer flexible loans to finance energy efficient projects while maintaining a positive cash flow from energy savings.
