Your Facility: Improving Energy Performance
Improving the energy efficiency of your facility comes with many benefits — lower operating costs, increased occupant comfort and a reduced environmental footprint. All that sounds great, but how do you get there? Here's your guide for saving energy now and better managing your energy use in the future.
Highlights
- Start saving now with simple efficiency upgrades. Low-cost actions like HVAC maintenance, smart controls and lighting improvements can help deliver immediate savings and comfort.
- Build a long-term energy strategy with expert support. Our energy audits, dashboards, demand response and data insights help sustain and optimize your energy performance.
- Strengthen sustainability and recognition. Greenback Rebates, renewable options and green building certifications help reduce emissions, lower costs and showcase your commitment to efficiency.
Start Simple with Proven Solutions
Improving your energy performance doesn’t have to require a major upfront investment. Many of the most effective efficiency gains come from practical, affordable actions — and we can support these early steps with expertise, tools and incentives.
- HVAC maintenance. Regular inspections and filter changes improve system efficiency and comfort. Energy audits available through TXU Energy and Dynegy can help identify HVAC optimization opportunities and estimate savings and ROI.
- Adjust temperatures with smarter controls. Building automation systems and scheduling tools help align heating and cooling with operating hours to avoid wasted energy.
- Control lighting more effectively. Occupancy sensors, automated schedules and LED lighting upgrades reduce unnecessary usage while maintaining productivity. These projects may qualify for TXU Energy or Dynegy Greenback rebate funding to help offset costs.
- Seal your building envelope. Addressing air leaks and insulation gaps improves comfort and reduces heating and cooling demand, supporting both cost savings and sustainability goals.
Consider an Energy Audit
A professional energy audit is a powerful first step. Our energy audits evaluate facility performance, identify efficiency opportunities and provide projected cost, savings and ROI estimates to help prioritize investments.
Plan for Long-Term Savings
Quick wins are important, but lasting value comes from a structured energy management plan. Vistra and its retail companies customers through each stage of this process.
- Make a commitment. Secure leadership support, define measurable goals and establish a method to track progress.
- Implement your plan. Use audit insights to develop a detailed action plan focused on reducing waste and improving efficiency.
- Track and evaluate performance. Tools like our Energy Dashboard provide detailed usage, cost, benchmarking and emissions reporting to monitor progress over time.
- Optimize with demand response. Voluntary demand response programs allow facilities to earn payments by reducing load during peak demand periods — lowering costs while supporting grid reliability.
- Recognize achievements. Sharing energy-saving and sustainability milestones helps build momentum and strengthens your organization’s public image.
For additional guidance, reference the EPA’s Guidelines for Energy Management, which align well with the tools and reporting capabilities offered by our retail brands.
Get Certified and Strengthen Sustainability Claims
Green building certifications are an effective way to formalize your commitment to energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.
- LEED and similar certifications provide a framework for setting targets and measuring performance.
- Certified buildings typically benefit from lower operating costs, reduced emissions and increased property value.
- We can support certification efforts through energy data reporting, audits and sustainability solutions such as Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and Emission-Free Energy Certificates (EFECs) to help address Scope 2 emissions.
We’re committed to helping businesses improve energy performance at every stage — from quick efficiency upgrades to long-term energy management, sustainability reporting and incentive programs like Greenback Rebates. Together, these solutions help turn energy efficiency into a measurable business advantage.
