That Matter

line-3-1

Capture more dollars from funding sources. 
If you are considering leveraging federal, state or local government funding sources, we can help you understand how to meet the documentation requirements for energy performance targets and make sense of conflicting funding criteria.

 

Improve building performance.  
Through our approach to integrated design facilitation, we encourage collaboration and data sharing between disciplines that leads to innovative design concepts, yielding higher building performance.

 

Create long-term capital improvement plans and budgets.
With the analysis from energy audits and modeling tools, we align your operating performance metrics with opportunities and challenges related to energy-consuming systems to help you identify highest and best uses for capital investment.  

 

Receive solutions that fit your requirements—not a sales pitch. 
Engaging with performance contracts, or ESCOs, can appear to solve many of your portfolio's capital improvement needs, especially when it comes to large asset replacement, such as a chillers or Building Automation Systems. Are you knowledgeable enough about your systems to enter into a long-term commitment? Do you fully understand your responsibilities and operational limitations, especially if energy savings is part of the financial arrangement? We can help you understand what you really need so that you can buy strategically.
