FAQs about business energy savings and bills
During the summer, when nobody’s in the building, setting a higher temperature on the thermostat can result in energy (and cost) savings without causing workers discomfort. The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your energy bill will be.
The bigger the difference between the temperature inside your building and the temperature outside, the harder your HVAC has to work. And if nighttime temperatures don’t drop, your air conditioner continues working to keep things cool. High humidity also adds stress to your HVAC system.
Every building has its own set of cooling challenges. The more office space you have, the more you can expect your bill to increase during the hotter months. Also, having more people in the workplace can put more strain on the HVAC system, so companies with many employees may see a bigger increase in their bill. Building insulation is also a factor, so sealing windows, seams and other places where air can leak is a good way to save energy and lower your bill.
