Natural Gas Energy Analysis

What is a Natural Gas Energy Analysis

?

A certified energy auditor will visit your facility, inspect your building envelope and installed natural gas equipment, examine how it is operated, and identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency.

What types of Analyses are available:Slide15

Funding:

Up to half the study cost with a $10,000 maximum cap provided in two payment steps

Study payment (up

to $5,000) is paid when the engineering report is

received

Implementation payment (up

to $5,000) is paid if a gas savings project suggested in the report is implemented and rebated by

CenterPoint

Rebates for the gas-savings measure may also be availableSlide28
