ComEd’s Smart Ideas Opportunity Assessmentt

ComEd
senior account manager Katrina Steele serves as the point person for
her customers and ComEd. She also connects them with Smart Ideas for
Your Business program offers to help them
save energy and money. Understanding that
energy usage is not a fixed cost
for her customers, Steele is committed to bringing them energy-saving
ideas. Savings can be found through lighting, HVAC, chillers or
enhanced motor control. The process is easy and generally starts with a
request from Steele or another account manager for a ComEd energy
engineer to visit and assess the facility. Within two weeks, the
customer will receive a summary letter outlining recommended energy
improvements (examples: install occupancy sensors, retrofit T12
fluorescent lighting, replace metal halide lighting, etc). Each
suggestion includes
estimated energy and cost savings, project
cost, potential
incentives, and
simple payback.
Businesses receiving assessments that move ahead with the recommended
energy-saving projects receive cash incentives. A few of ComEd’s
recently satisfied customers include
True Value, JLL, and the
Alexian Brothers Medical Center (
