BOALSBURG, Pa. /Mortgage and Finance News/ — AFL Global, a global leader in telecommunications and fiber optic solutions, has achieved a significant sustainability milestone by leveraging EnergyCAP, a leading energy and sustainability software platform. By implementing EnergyCAP, AFL Global has automated the management of nearly two-hundred utility accounts, which has enabled $304,000 in anticipated annual energy and utility cost savings and substantial environmental gains.
Facing mounting pressure from stakeholders to enhance sustainability practices, AFL had been burdened by a time-consuming process that required thirty-six hours each month to manage utility data manually. Recognizing the need for innovation, AFL turned to EnergyCAP in December 2023, revolutionizing its approach to energy management.
AFL Global Sustainability Wins:
* Natural Gas Leak Detection: Identifying abnormal gas usage through software led to the discovery and repair of a natural gas leak, saving AFL $3,300 annually.
* Water Leak Detection: AFL saved $10,700 and 257,000 gallons of water each year-equivalent to over one-third the volume of an Olympic-size swimming pool-by detecting and addressing water leaks.
* Energy Efficiency Projects: Data insights empowered AFL to complete twenty-nine energy efficiency projects across its operations, resulting in expected savings of 1.9 million kWh and $170,000 annually.
* Rate Structure Review: By reviewing utility rate structures, AFL identified an additional $120,000 in annual savings.
In addition to these financial and environmental benefits, EnergyCAP’s customizable dashboards empowered AFL to enhance transparency and communication around energy usage. AFL employees across the organization gained access to real-time energy data, enabling them to make faster, data-driven decisions.
“EnergyCAP’s software not only helps us find savings but also provides transparency with customizable dashboards available to all AFL employees,” said Geoff VanderVeen, Executive Director, Environmental Health & Safety at AFL. “We can now communicate facility data with stakeholders more efficiently, often within a month rather than the up to 6+ month lag previously experienced. This timely, transparent data reporting sets us apart, allowing us to support our sustainability initiatives with concrete, regularly updated information.”
Shawn Lankton, CEO of EnergyCAP, emphasized the importance of automation in sustainability efforts: “AFL’s success showcases the transformative power of automation in energy and sustainability data management. By streamlining manual processes and providing critical insights, EnergyCAP enables organizations to unlock significant savings while advancing their sustainability goals. AFL’s journey is a testament to how technology and data transparency can drive meaningful operational and environmental change.”
AFL’s transition from manual, labor-intensive processes to automated, data-driven practices has strengthened its sustainability credentials, proving that the right technology can make a substantial impact on both operational efficiency and sustainability performance.
As AFL continues to leverage EnergyCAP’s innovative capabilities, they demonstrate how organizations can turn external pressures into strategic advantages-achieving not only cost savings but also paving the way for a brighter, greener future.
