Non-Energy Benefits (NEBs) Identification and Evaluation

Uncover the Hidden Value of Your Projects

The benefits of your energy efficiency projects are not limited to energy savings and the associated cost reductions. Investments in the energy transition also generate other major positive impacts such as:

  • Improved safety and well-being at work leading to less absenteeism
  • Improved product quality
  • Improved employee and equipment productivity
  • Reduced unplanned production downtimes

Too often, these impacts remain invisible and projects with high potential remain stalled. We help you identify, quantify, and highlight these impacts so that every investment counts.

What Econoler Can Do for You

By failing to consider non-energy benefits and focusing solely on energy and greenhouse gas savings, several energy efficiency and decarbonization projects are being sidelined in favour of projects deemed more profitable or strategic by organizational decision-makers.

To fill this gap, Econoler relies on MBENEFITS, a unique methodology that serves to identify, quantify, and monetize all the benefits generated by your energy projects to make them more attractive from a financial and strategic standpoint. It highlights often overlooked value by traditional evaluation methods. As the exclusive provider of the MBENEFITS methodology in Canada, Econoler helps you make your investment project business cases stronger and more profitable.
