QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Mixed Use Utility Conservation Strategies

An all electric church that doubles as a school looks for ways to solve energy tracking and usage issues.

Q. Our frequently used facility, a church and school, is 100,000 square feet. It is all electric. Our last bill was $15,000 for the month (whereas an average month is $13,000). We use heat pumps and variable air velocity units for our heating and cooling. What can we do to evaluate our power usage and help us conserve?
