Cost of Waiting
Perhaps the most common reason for delaying energy-efficiency projects is that “it’s just not in this year’s budget.” Businesses often feel that rather than taking on the cost immediately, a better financial decision is postponing the installation of energy-efficiency equipment until funds are available for upgrades. What businesses may not realize is that delaying installation delays the point at which energy savings can begin. In many instances, the lost energy savings incurred by postponing the project for one year are greater than the cost of the energy efficiency project – making the decision to “do it now” the better financial decision.
