Take control of your energy use!
8760 Expense Management provides energy efficiency services designed to optimize how your business uses energy. Achieve the same results using less power and less natural gas - lower consumption means lower utility bills and greater long-term savings. Our insights and expertise can help make your energy management activities more sustainable with data-driven solutions that make financial and practical sense.
Energy Efficiency — Before You Start
Energy efficiency often feels complex, expensive, and hard to navigate. 8760 makes energy efficiency structured, measurable, and financially predictable. Clear Steps. Real Savings. Lasting Impact.
1. What Is Energy Efficiency?
Energy efficiency means doing the same work while using less energy. Across buildings, operations, and equipment, efficiency improvements reduce costs while delivering environmental and long-term business benefits.
Energy efficiency works best when combined with competitive energy rates and optimized delivery charges. As part of our 360° Energy Approach, 8760 ensures efficiency improvements support your full energy strategy.
2. Where Should You Start?
Energy efficiency often feels expensive, complex, and unclear. Many businesses don’t know where to begin, how long it takes, or whether results appear early.
We simplify the process. Our 15-minute Energy Efficiency Questionnaire gives you a clear starting point and shows what opportunities exist for your facility — before any major commitment. Start with a 15-Minute Assessment
3. What Is Your ENERGY STAR® Score?
Your ENERGY STAR Score (ESS) shows how efficiently your facility uses energy compared to similar operations in Canada.
It’s one of the fastest ways to understand where you stand today — and how much improvement (and savings) may be available.
4. How Much Energy Are You Wasting?
A Desktop Energy Audit is often the logical first step in this process. Using your historical/existing energy data, we analyze your facility’s performance, compare it to similar businesses, and highlight areas where energy use is higher than expected.
This step reveals immediate opportunities to reduce energy use and costs.
5. How Can You Reduce Energy Use While Maintaining Performance?
The Full On-Site Energy Audit provides total clarity. Our experts visit your facility to identify inefficiencies and uncover optimization opportunities across systems and operations.
You receive a practical, prioritized action plan — no guesswork, just clear next steps.
Our implementation action plan includes a payback period for each action, allowing you to align your financial planning with your energy efficiency investments.
6. Are Efficiency Improvements Delivering Measurable Results?
Efficiency only matters if savings last. Our Ongoing Monitoring & Validation tracks performance, confirms savings, and ensures improvements continue over time.
You receive reporting and insights that help you measure impact, adjust when needed, and protect your return on investment.
Beyond your audit, we also identify resources and funding programs to support your sustainable energy use and maximize your savings.
Immediate, practical actions your team can implement with minimal expense. Savings are visible from day one.
Examples: automated lighting controls, sealing windows, adjusting HVAC settings, turning off unused equipment.
Once baseline efficiency is optimized, renewables deliver maximum benefit. Implementing too early may reduce overall effectiveness.
Examples: solar panels, wind, or geothermal systems.
Investments that require funding but deliver significant, long-term savings. Implementation can be scheduled according to your budget and payback calculations.
Examples: upgrading windows, lighting, HVAC, water, or electrical systems.
