Commercial buildings

For offices, retail and other commercial property, energy is one of the largest controllable operating costs. Systems and controls often drift from their original settings, and occupant complaints can be the first sign.

An audit and utility baseline show where costs come from. Modeling compares upgrade options, and monitoring confirms results after the work is complete.

Common concerns

  • Operating costs that erode margins
  • Occupant comfort and complaints
  • Controls that drift from their original settings

Industrial facilities

Industrial facilities combine building loads with process equipment, large motors and significant electrical demand. Upgrades must be planned around production.

Eco-1 power-quality and equipment-level monitoring helps separate where energy goes, and phased design/build planning keeps work from disrupting operations.

Common concerns

  • Large equipment and process loads
  • Power quality and electrical demand
  • Upgrades that cannot interrupt production

Relevant services

Federal and public facilities

Public facilities often work toward defined energy goals with detailed reporting requirements and long capital planning horizons.

Assessments establish a documented baseline, and measurement and verification reporting shows progress against goals over time.

Common concerns

  • Energy goals that must be documented
  • Long-term capital planning
  • Detailed reporting requirements
