SAVE ENERGY - SAVE YOUR MONEY

People are often unaware of the massive cost savings through energy efficiency initiatives despite seeing big increases in their energy bills. 

EcoShades offers highly innovative and inexpensive alternative energy efficiency options.

We can dramatically reduce your energy bills by the following:

  • Insulating windows with In’Flector See-Through Solar Window Shades or other sun control window coverings
  • Providing you with energy efficient options for lighting, heating and cooling
  • Implementing a flat rate/fixed rate hydro program - the best rates on the market!
  • Identifying and applying for government, OPA and other incentive funding and grants
  • Installing hot water tank insulation blankets
  • WE’RE ON YOUR SIDE

    You have enough on your plate. Learning about energy efficiency can be an overwhelming task that takes up time and resources. That’s why we’re here to help you. We will analyze your business and provide you with options to reduce your utility costs by as much as 40%.

    Our staff regularly attends industry programs and seminars on energy efficiency, energy and conservation and demand management (CDM). We are also up to date on grants, incentives and rebates, so we can help you determine which incentive programs will benefit you most. We support many small- to medium-sized businesses in their goal to save money and become more energy conscious. Let us show you what we can do for you.

    The Energy Efficiency Planning and Management Guide put out by the Office of Energy Efficiency of Natural Resources Canada for The Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation suggests, in order to set in place a sustainability plan, businesses should nominate an energy champion: 

    “Nominate an energy champion - A senior manager in the role of energy management champion should head the energy management structure…. The champion should demonstrate a high level of enthusiasm and deep conviction about the benefits of the energy efficiency program.”

    Let us be your energy efficiency champion

     A small but growing chorus is sounding the alarm about the future of these buildings.

    Building scientists have known for a long time that glass-walled structures are less energy efficient than the stone and concrete buildings that were put up forty of fifty years ago.  Read more...

    Did You Know?

    Windows are considered responsible for more than 50% of a building's heat loss. Even more for buildings with high volume of windows.

    Combined, heating, cooling, and lighting consume about 70% of energy used in an office building.

     On some buildings, five per cent of the thermal windows may have failed before they're even delivered to the construction site. Another 10 - 15 per cent will fail by the 20-year mark as they're exposed to the physics of heat expansion. By the 25 year-mark, a growing number will fail every year.

    We have an alternative to replacing windows that will outperform energy savings from new windows by 400%!
