Energy Efficiency Solutions
Energy consumption in buildings accounts for 36 percent of the total energy used in the nation. Our objectives are to minimize the overall energy consumption of any facility and improve working conditions. This reduces operating expenses, increases employee productivity and lessens the harsh impact extensive energy consumption can have on the environment. Some Energy Efficiency projects VEC has performed include Energy Efficiency Audits for facilities in the City of Youngstown and a Power Quality Analysis for Ashtabula Wastewater Treatment Facility in Ohio.
