New York, NY (PRWEB) September 18, 2007 -- Energy Solutions secures a $110,000 refund on overcharges for Sushiden America. Feeling that their expenses were rising too fast, Energy Solutions was contracted by Sushiden, one of NY's premiere Japanese restaurant, located at 49th Street and Madison Avenue to review and audit their energy expenses. Robert P. Mc Kinney, who is Energy Solutions Director of Audits and Procurement and who actually conducted the audit, initially spoke to management and uncovered where Sushiden's concern was in regards to there utility expenditures.

Mr.Yasumura, who is the general manager of Sushiden, was concerned with the rising costs of Sushiden's water bill. Energy Solutions collected electric, gas, water and telecommunications bills and proceeded with an audit concentrating on water initially.

"While conducting the audit on Sushiden's water bills we were concerned with the exuberant amount of there bills considering the typical usage of restaurants of this size," Mc Kinney says.

Energy Solutions proceeded to do an on-site inspection and feasibility study of the facility as well as the meter and found no leaks or waste in Sushiden's restaurant.

"After the feasibility study was concluded we realized that Sushiden was being overcharged. We took our report to DEP where they proceeded to verify our results and also do their own feasibility study as well as test the meter for inaccuracies. After one month, DEP concurred with our findings and issued a refund to Sushiden in an excess of $110,000," Mc Kinney says. Energy Solutions was also able to save Sushiden on their water bill over $35,000 per year in perpetual savings.
