HSB’s engineering team has designed an easy to use series of energy efficiency calculators made for the average business or institution to assess their own equipment and operating conditions and identify efficiency improvements.

Our energy efficiency calculators cover a wide range of equipment types and sizes including boilers, HVAC, electrical, lighting and mechanical equipment. 

On average, it costs $4.00 a square foot to heat, cool, and light a typical commercial building. Our calculators can help identify potential energy cost savings of up to 15 to 20 percent per year.

An effective electrical preventative maintenance (EPM) program can improve equipment efficiency and reduce utility bills. An EPM program can also help to improve equipment life, efficiency and reliability by helping maintain the equipment in proper operating condition within the manufacturer’s guidelines.

HSB’s electrical distribution system self-assessment survey provides insights to help improve the reliability and operation of your electrical distribution system.
