| November 13, 2008 |  View for printing |
Energy experts from the University of Washington want to help local businesses cut their utility bills.
The Industrial Assessment Center at UW is offering free energy assessments for small and medium local businesses. The center is now in its third year of providing assessments, and in the past two years has made recommendations that could save local companies on average nearly $64,000 a year.
The center is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and is one of 26 similar groups at universities around the country who provide free energy assessments to companies. In 2005, $5 million in funding returned more than $25 million in energy savings through these 26 universities, according to the DOE.
