tax exemption status, reviewed 3.5 years of monthly utility bills, and calculated the amount of overpaid taxes. The total refund for the production building was over $500.
The paint building was not included in the first study because it was not being used for production purposes at the time. Energy Insight determined that 81.6 percent of the electricity and 87.5 percent of the natural gas used in the paint building qualified for sales tax exemptions. TRITEC received more than $2,300 in refunds for overpaid sales taxes on gas and electricity consumed in that building.

Energy-efficient technologies, such as LED lighting in the paint building, will save TRITEC almost $15,000 per year.
A sales tax exemption study helped TRITEC recover more than $2,800 in overpaid taxes for energy used in production.
Many states require companies to conduct predominant use studies every three years to maintain their sales tax exemption status.
Types of businesses that could benefit:
In addition to the sales tax exemption study, Energy Insight helped TRITEC access rebates for energy efficiency upgrades. Energy Insight delivers the commercial conservation improvement program for Virginia Public Utilities (VPU), TRITEC’s electric service provider. TRITEC qualified for more than $4,600 in VPU rebates for replacing high-intensity discharge lighting with LEDs and installing variable frequency drives on air handlers. These changes will conserve nearly 133,000 kWh and save the company almost $15,000 per year.
“The rebates helped pay for equipment that makes us more efficient,” Robertson said. “Money we save on sales taxes or through energy efficiency can be reinvested in the business. We operate in a very competitive marketplace—every dollar counts!”
