Calculate My Energy Rating

Energy efficiency is good for the bottom line.

Measure. Understand. Implement. Save.

step 1 > MEASURE YOUR EFFICIENCY
The first step to energy efficiency is to benchmark your current consumption. You won't know how much you can save until you know where you are currently operating. As an Energy Star provider, Spotts, Stevens and McCoy, Inc. can assist you to measure your current Energy Star rating. The energy rating provides an energy performance measure based on a scale of 1-100 relative to similar buildings nationwide.

step 2 > UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
The next step toward energy efficiency is understanding what the rating means. We can help you to understand your current consumption rating; and if appropriate, we will identify a few areas for improvement and efficiencies that can raise your energy rating . . . and your potential energy savings.

step 3 > IMPLEMENT CHANGES
Depending upon your current rating, we can help you to implement energy-saving practices for your facilities, from low-cost/no-cost efficiency practices to capital improvements with long-term energy-savings.

step 4 > SAVE ON ENERGY COSTS

ENERGY STAR is best known as a label for products, such as appliances, that meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). But the ENERGY STAR also identifies superior energy performance for America's commercial and industrial buildings. Whether a school, hospital, small business, or large corporation, ENERGY STAR guidelines can help reduce energy use, save money, and help protect the environment. ENERGY STAR Service and Product Providers (like SSM) have the experience and tools to implement energy-efficient strategies.

ENERGY STAR was introduced by EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. Today, the ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 50 different kinds of products, new homes and commercial and industrial buildings. Products and buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR designation prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the government. In 2007, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved about $16 billion on their energy bills while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 27 million vehicles.
