Start Saving Today!
We’ve customized this list to help your water and wastewater facility save money today with Efficiency Vermont rebates, and for years to come with energy savings.
Process Changes & Specialized Equipment
Changes to your treatment process may be eligible for a custom incentive. De-watering, UV lighting, grit removal, process controls, and high-speed turbo blowers are examples of projects where we have been able to provide incentives. Contact Us early in the design and engineering process for more information.
Motors, Drives & Pumps
Efficient pumps, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and motors can significantly reduce the costs of aeration and de-watering at wastewater facilities and water pumping at water treatment plants. For example, VFD installations on wastewater facility pumps have resulted in energy savings of 35-60%! Contact Us for more information.
Your facility can reap additional savings from energy-efficient lighting. Options are available for overhead lighting, area lighting in offices, outdoor lighting, and more. Occupancy sensors reduce costs by turning off lighting in occasionally used spaces and outdoor areas.
For large facilities, commissioning can ensure that your building’s heating, cooling, and other systems work efficiently together to save energy and reduce operating costs. Additional benefits include improved indoor air quality, occupant comfort, and productivity.
Energy-efficient and optimized HVAC equipment and controls can reap significant long-term cost savings, increase equipment reliability, and create more comfortable spaces for employees.
Air compressors can account for 10% of the electricity use in the average industrial facility. Opportunities for saving money exist in almost every compressed air system by detecting leaks, adjusting controls, and upgrading inefficient equipment, on both the supply and demand sides.
Efficiency Vermont offers financial and technical assistance to help businesses increase the comfort of building occupants and optimize the efficiency of both large and small new construction and major renovation projects.
