It is both smart business and socially responsible to make your facility more sustainable. The financial incentives that are now available have made it easier than ever to gain a competitive advantage through energy efficiency and increase the performance of your facility. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Efficient Design), is the certification process that has become the gold standard for rating sustainable facilities. Elliott-Lewis has LEED-Accredited Professionals on staff who can guide you through the LEED Certification process, whether you are building a new building or retrofitting your current facility. In addition, Elliott-Lewis can assist you in Re-Commissioning your system to restore its energy performance to the standard to which it was designed. If you are serious about making your facility more sustainable, contact Elliott-Lewis to create the most cost efficient and forward thinking plan for your organization.

In response to the imminent expiration of rate caps, Pennsylvania electric distribution companies have been mandated by PA Act 129 to provide financial incentives through direct rebates to encourage their customers to reduce energy usage. These incentives are now available to all customers of PECO, First Energy and PPL Electric. Any qualifying equipment that has been installed since July 1, 2009 is eligible for this incentive including HVAC equipment, motors, VFD's, building controls and lighting. Elliott-Lewis's Energy Solutions Group can assist you in obtaining those rebate. Elliott-Lewis can also assist you with the rebate now available through New Jersey's Smart Start Program. If you plan to attend Globalcon 2010 , please visit us at Booth 618 at the Philadelphia Convention Center on March 24 and 25, 2010 and take advantage of a free Energy Efficiency Benchmarking Report for one of your facilities.
