Energy conservation is smart in more ways than one. It not only benefits the environment, but also has a positive bottom-line impact as well. A recent ENERGY STAR® study showed that operators could increase profits by as much as one-third ($3.00 for every $10.00 in profit) if they saved 20 percent on energy costs.
