More Sustainable Brew
Metrus is actively working with food & beverage companies – and other industrial customers – on bundling energy and water efficiency projects into a single Efficiency Services Agreement (ESA). Although water is relatively cheap today for commercial & industrial (C&I) customers, a host of market trends and recent data suggests this will not continue. The environmental liability, scarcity value and true cost of operating a reliable water infrastructure network necessitate that building owners, including food & beverage customers, will increase utility charges for this finite resource. C&I customers have an opportunity to proactively manage their water consumption by implementing water efficiency upgrades alongside traditional energy efficiency projects. Financing energy and water retrofits under a services agreement can allow customer to implement projects that can improve operations and increase resiliency. Who wouldn’t drink to that?
