Identification and Evaluation of Non-Energy Benefits (NEBs)

Uncover the hidden value of your energy efficiency and decarbonization projects

The benefits of your energy efficiency projects are not limited to energy savings and 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 reduced absenteeism
  • Improved product quality
  • Reduction in unscheduled production downtimes
  • Improved employee and equipment productivity

 

Yet, non-energy benefits often go unnoticed.

The result? Promising projects remain on hold.

 

Why include NEBs in investment evaluations?

The MBENEFITS methodology and software enable you to identify, evaluate, and monetize all the impacts of your investment projects to:

  • Strengthen your business cases
  • Evaluate projects more comprehensively and accurately
  • Provide rigorous and documented decision support
  • Unlock investment projects

Did you know that nearly two-thirds of non-energy benefits are quantifiable and monetizable?
