introduction
Planet Fitness clubs are open 24/7, 365 days a year. This equals massive energy usage and energy spend. When a new location opens, there is a focus on ensuring the most efficient energy usage without sparing the look and feel of the facility for their members.
Solution
MES consults directly with franchise owners, and their team, to maximize efficiency and reduce costs for new construction or retrofit projects. MES researches location-specific utility rebate programs to determine which equipment would achieve the greatest savings.
When looking for rebates or incentives, the MES team investigates LED lighting, high bay retrofits, HVAC, programmable thermostats, water heaters, and building envelope. Our team handles the application process from start to finish, and advocates for the maximum rebate.
