Let us compare your energy options and tell you how much you can save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As of 2015, 2,933 large commercial businesses employing more than 500 employees currently call Canada home. More than a third of these companies are located in Ontario<\/a>, with an additional 400+ such companies doing business in Alberta<\/a>. While large commercial companies account for only 0.3% of the businesses in Canada, this seemingly tiny sliver of the pie employs 9.7% of Canada\u2019s workforce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While these titans of industry play an out-sized role in shaping the economy of Canada, this influence comes at a cost: specifically, a massive electricity and natural gas costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While hard numbers are hard to come by, given how small commercial companies that would fall under the definition of \u201cmedium businesses\u201d don\u2019t draw nearly as much attention as small businesses and large companies, it\u2019s believed that such businesses use between 30,000 and 65,000 kWh<\/a> of electricity per year, though this value may vary a great deal depending on the nature of the business. Energy for large businesses can be costly if they don’t review their options correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And in many cases, the amount of natural gas consumed by small commercial companies can dwarf electricity consumption. This should make one thing clear: Even a modest improvement in energy efficiency can save a great deal of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 2018 report by Natural Resources Canada<\/a> showed that space heating and cooling accounted for more than 50% of the total energy used by Canadian businesses. Given the relatively narrow source of this energy consumption\u2014air conditioners and furnaces\u2014a large commercial company can significantly<\/em> reduce its overall energy costs by replacing aged, inefficient HVAC systems, air conditioners, furnaces, and boilers with new, energy-efficient systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given the scale at which these companies operate, often with multiple sites\u2014or even dozens of them\u2014the initial outlay may be disconcertingly large. But given the scale of the energy consumption involved, decreasing energy usage by even a few percents can save hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars within a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the United States, the EPA found that the use of an online energy usage auditing tool by large commercial organizations translated into an energy savings of 2.4% per year<\/a>, on average. Over a period of three years, this reduction translated into savings of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lesson is that even small improvements pay large dividends for large commercial operations. And while half of energy used by companies goes towards environmental control, it\u2019s important not to overlook other opportunities for reducing energy consumption. Some approaches are more structural in nature, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many energy providers offer electricity and natural gas plans which are specially crafted for large commercial companies, such as load following plans<\/a> that minimize exposure to volatility in the energy market, and block pricing plans<\/a>, which strike a balance between predictability and the opportunity to take advantage of lulls in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, choosing the plan that is right for your organization can be a difficult and challenging process.
