[Music] imagine you are in a market for a new automobile one vehicle is priced at around $30,000 which you quickly discount with I can't afford that option and the other cost is $20,000 which is in the line with what you can spend at this time the salesperson is quick to point out the twenty thousand dollar model gets around 15 mpg fuel economy while thirty thousand dollar model uses solar and battery asses and runs mostly fuel free from the buyers calculations the difference is about three hundred dollars per month based on his driving activity sometimes the I can't afford it option with more faxes reconsidered and ends up being the best solution for long term both metal buildings and vehicles are fuel burners in a large climate-controlled space that is easy to save hundreds of dollars in energy costs per month from a lower end insulation system to a very well insulated system for every hundred dollars in savings per month the average savings is twenty four thousand dollars over a 20 year span the additional benefit comes in to mechanical and lighting system efficiency have you ever been in a heated or cooled building where the fans on the mechanical unit are kicking on and off and cannot keep up with demand the wear and tear in these situations is tremendous with the properly insulated system the mechanical lifespan can exceed double over a poorly insulated system requiring an efficient runtime have you ever seen small portable heaters in the workspace that are often left running off and on work hours the cost to run these little burners is tremendous and can consume hundreds of dollars a month hiding in your electric bill air leaks are the number one cause for energy loss it starts with the doors or windows even most doors out there offer ar7 insulation while for not much more we can get into foam filled doors with great seals and an impressive r-27 saving or cutting cost insulation systems in a climate-controlled space is not where you want to cut costs often the I can't afford it option turns into I can't afford not to do the better option when the long term benefits are presented we didn't experience bill higher than I think maybe $350 during these cold winter months I'll be honest with you that's about well a little more than half of where we had in a 7,000 square feet building this is a 20,000 square foot building so it made quite a difference when we purchased our building from L building out land we also purchased their energy saver package this building is 9,000 square feet 60 by 150 feet long we have our 38 in the walls and our 30 in the ceiling with their energy saver package and our bills at the worst of winter to heat this building at 65 degrees with radiant tube heaters was about $250 in the design of a metal building when it comes to energy we have split incentives and what that is is basically you have to develop her there as only the responsibility to meet code you have the installer and you have the front the owner the developer wants the cheapest option he's looking for first to make the most profit that then there's installer I don't know how many times I've heard the installers say you don't need that my customers maybe buy a nice insulation package you don't need that he has no data nothing to support that and he's not the one being the utility bills he just doesn't want to put it in because it's extra labor and then you have the owner do you know that if you save a hundred dollars a month on your energy bill that equals twenty four thousand dollars in 20 years and the incentive for the owner is long-term energy savings then there's the energy code which has the green movement movement going with it and people think all that just makes higher cost and construction but when it comes to energy savings as a building owner just go with it because anything the code requires you to do will save you money in the long term over the next 20 years and it has a payback it's the only item that in this whole green movement and then it which is about the carbon footprint that will pay itself back you
