What is a BusinessCheck Energy Assessment?
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 recommendations on ways to save on energy bills, customers have the option to allow installation of energy-saving measures during or following assessments such as:
- Faucet aerators
- Low-flow showerheads
- LED exit sign retrofits (multifamily excluded)
- Water pipe insulation (multifamily excluded)
Following the assessment, participating customers will receive a report that includes
energy-saving actions, complete with estimates of potential energy and cost savings,
including low- or no-cost suggestions. The report also will include information regarding
available MidAmerican Energy rebates to help ease the cost of investing in high-efficiency
equipment that deliver long-term energy and energy cost savings. Rebates are offered on
installed, qualifying energy efficiency measures in accordance with MidAmerican Energy's
Nonresidential Equipment and Custom Systems programs.
