are eligible to be enrolled in the BusinessCheck program, including small retail businesses, restaurants, small office

What is a BusinessCheck Energy Audit?
It is an evaluation of how your small business uses energy and includes specific recommendations on ways you can use energy more efficiently and reduce your monthly energy bill.
In addition to receiving recommendatins on ways to save on energy bills, customers have the option to allow
installation of energy-saving measures during or following audtis such as:
- Water pipe insulation
- Faucet aerators
- Compact fluorescent lamps
- LED exit sign retrofits
- Occupancy sensor
- Refrigerated vending machine controller
- Pre-rinse sprayer
Additional measures may be offered for installation during audits as further demonstration of proven technologies that help save energy and reduce energy costs. MidAmerican Energy provides rebates for the implementation of
qualifying energy management opportunities recommended by the energy auditor (e.g., lighting and insulation).
Many rebates for new or replacement equipment are for approximately 50 to 70
percent of the higher incremental cost of the high-efficiency equipment when
compared to purchase and installation costs associated with standard equipment.
