When it comes to talking about costs with your customers, I always fold incentives and savings into the conversation from the start. I use utility standards for energy reduction by space type, so customers can see this isn’t a guess. When they see higher incentives, higher savings, and a faster payback, the upfront cost usually stops being the main concern. And on top of that, they’re getting a system that can adapt to future code, rate increases, or changes in how the building is used.
