Winning strategies to boost your business

Optimizing your electricity use is a simple way to gain the financial flexibility you need to invest in projects that can boost your business’s long-term performance. Real estate companies can work on two fronts: by relying on efficient equipment to reduce energy consumption and by shifting energy use to the right time, especially during winter peaks.

More efficient equipment

Replacing energy-intensive equipment with more efficient options is one of the most effective ways to save electricity and money. In the real estate sector, heat recovery, lighting systems and heat pumps are all interesting energy-saving solutions, and refurbished electromechanical systems can also lead to savings. Hydro-Québec offers substantial financial assistance that can cover up to 90% of the purchase and installation costs of this type of equipment.

Power demand reduction

Companies can also benefit from reducing their power demand during peak winter periods. Implementing a process to regulate a building’s electricity consumption can lead to energy savings and a considerable credit on a company’s bill at the end of the season. When necessary, an alternative source of energy can help maintain operations during peak periods.
