Commercial Energy Retrofits

Cromwell Environmental is a national leader in energy audits, energy retrofits, and other energy efficiency testing and contracting for businesses. We can identify any efficiency-stealing issues with your building and perform an energy retrofit guaranteed to increase energy efficiency and sustainability. Cromwell Environmental performs energy retrofits throughout the Kansas and Missouri region.

Having an energy audit done on your property can identify common issues that reduce energy efficiency and lead to higher utility bills. After an energy audit identifies issues, an energy retrofit is the next step to resolve them. Most buildings contain surprising opportunities for savings if done in the right order.

HOW A COMMERCIAL ENERGY RETROFIT WORKS

After an energy audit prioritizes efficiency improvements, the licensed and bonded experts in Cromwell Solar’s construction services team carry out these improvements to increase your comfort and realize your potential energy savings. For commercial building owners a professionally done energy retrofit can pay for itself through energy savings in a few short years while improving the comfort of occupants living or working there.

With the hot summers and cold winters in Kansas and Missouri we spend a lot of our energy heating and cooling our buildings. Even a moderate energy efficiency retrofit of a commercial property can yield amazing results. Older buildings can really benefit from building envelope and insulation upgrades that also make a building much more comfortable to live in. Additional low-hanging fruit includes lighting upgrades, smart energy systems, and weatherproofing.
