Offices Hotels and Hospitality Retail Restaurants Education Cultural Institutions Recreational Facilities Energy Optimization We know it’s not always easy to decide where to start looking for opportunities to improve the energy efficiency of your buildings. Whether you need to fulfill local jurisdictional and state mandates, are curious about your portfolio’s energy profile, or looking for a retro-commissioning agent, we will help you to devise the best strategy to address the needs of your building or entire portfolio. Our energy optimization services for existing commercial properties include: Energy Benchmarking and Portfolio Review: We use high-quality analytics and visualizations to help you unlock the trends behind your building’s energy use. You will be able to see how your property stacks up against others, and identify potential opportunities for improvement. Energy Auditing: Pinpoint inefficient systems and maintenance practices with a hands-on energy audit and mechanical testing. After an initial audit, we’ll analyze our preliminary recommendations to prioritize a scope of work, discuss the findings with you, as well as recommend the implementation of high-impact improvements. Retro-Commissioning: As your retro-commissioning agent, we’ll identify mechanical defects,revise operating protocol, calibrate and sequence systems, direct equipment maintenance and train building owners and staff in proper maintenance and operation. Existing and Historic Building Enclosure Diagnostics: We investigate and evaluate buildings for water leaks, moisture and air migration, and thermal performance. We can assist building owners and design professionals in identifying failures in existing building enclosures through onsite observation, review of existing documents, overseeing probes, and testing. These investigations form the basis of recommendations for remedial work, while also providing valuable information to the design team. Operations and Maintenance Tools: To ensure ongoing success, we can develop efficient operations and maintenance guidelines and provide training to building management staff. We’ll also coordinate across our network of vendors and assess new technologies for future implementation.
