Energy Benchmarking

Energy benchmarking is essential to achieving and sustaining effective energy management. Through benchmarking, the key metrics for assessing your buildings or facility’s performance are identified, baselines are established, and goals are set, all of which helps us to identify the key drivers of where you are spending money on energy and the best ways to lower your cost.

Boiler Optimization

Boilers are considered to be a crucial part of any industry, as it is the place where the fuel is used for producing the needed amount of heat.  The primary function of a boiler is to convert water into steam at constant pressure and to supply it at constant pressure. 

There are 4 solutions available for boiler optimization:

  1.  Steam Boiler-Exhaust Heat Recovery
  2. Steam Boiler-Steam Trap Monitoring
  3. Steam Boiler-Water Treatment
  4. Hydronic Boiler-Hydronic Controls

Building Management Systems

This system makes use of sensors and computer technology towards optimizing a facilities energy use.  A sophisticated system can actually learn business operations, calibrate actions based on multiple inputs, and communicate directly with utilities to identify optimal times to purchase energy.  This system can also greatly improve the execution of demand response and capacity reduction.

There are 2 solution available:

  1. Building automated systems
  2. Hotel room controls
4

Chiller Optimization

A chiller plant is a main source of cooling for a facility, but its power requirements will make up a large portion of a building’s energy consumption.  This makes chiller optimization critical to achieving better building energy performance.  Our upgrades will lower electricity and maintenance cost, improve environmental sustainability.

There are 4 solutions available:

  1. Water Cooled-Cooling tower optimization
  2. Water Cooled-AI optimization software
  3. Air Cooled-Convert to variable speed comp.
  4. Air Cooled-Pre-coded with water mist
5

Cost Segregation

An engineered cost segregation study will review your construction documents, evaluate those construction cost by components, and conduct a facility visit.  We can help you by accelerating your return on a capital spent by speeding up your depreciation schedule.  Typically your buildings are depreciated on a schedule ranging from 28-40 years in most cases we can have this done in as little as 5 years.

6

Demand & Capacity Management

When a building needs to be cooled, other businesses on the same transmission grid will also likely need similar levels of electricity for cooling.  That electricity demand will typically be the highest.  The utility company measures that energy usage on a very hot day and then applies a capacity tag that reflects that usage.  The higher the usage, the more that building will pay for capacity charges.  These systems can greatly improve the execution of demand response and capacity reduction. 

There are 2 solutions available:

  1. Demand Management through EMS
  2. Thermal Mass Capacity Management Software

Energy Storage

Many businesses are benefiting from utilizing energy storage, in terms of both cost savings and energy resiliency, with storage deployment being driven by policies, incentives, and cost decliner for certain battery chemistries.  

There are 3 solutions available:

  1. Electrical-battery
  2. Thermal-Ice
  3. Thermal-Phase Change

Indoor Air Quality

Many clean air solutions use ozone to help purify the air, which can lead to harmful byproduct discharge.  None of our clean air solutions use ozone to sanitize the air, thus making our solutions safe to the environment and making them highly effective for use in any building.  No matter what kind of building our clients have, our indoor air solutions will get the job done.

There are 2 solutions available:

  1. Bipolar Ionization
  2. UV Lights
10

Laundry Optimization

The average ozone laundry system typically reduces overall laundry cost between 30-40%.  High efficiency heat recovery systems can reduce the energy used to dry linens by as much as 50%.  UV light laundry systems generate significant energy and water savings.  Gas usage can be reduced by up to 80% and water usage by up to 20%.  An advanced commercial laundry water recovery system can reduce water usage by 80%, eliminate 90% of wastewater discharge, and can cut energy cost by up to 50%.

There are 4 solutions available:

  1. Ozone Laundry 
  2. Water Recovery 
  3. Dryer Heat Recovery 
  4. UV Lights

Lighting

Lighting can be a significant component of your electricity cost.  Most facilities use approximately 19-30% of their electricity for lighting.  Our retrofit solutions commonly involve upgrading incandescent and fluorescent fixtures to more advanced and lower maintenance LED’s.  Our solutions can include lighting controls, motion sensors, and adjustments to light color and intensity.

There are 5 solutions available.

  1. LED
  2. Networked
  3. Daylighting
  4. Human Centric
  5. Grow Lights

Onsite Generation and Power Optimization

This can provide an essential redundancy to power, provided by the local electric utility.  Onsite generation in conjunction with storage systems can offer improved power quality.  The harmonics, voltage sag, and momentary outages can all be prevented through the use of such systems.

There are 6 solutions available.

  1. Cogeneration
  2. Hydrogen
  3. Microgrids
  4. Solar PV
  5. Solar Thermal
  6. Standby Generation

Refrigeration Optimization

An integrated approach to optimizing the mechanical system, along with an automation strategy, is one of the most effective ways to reduce energy cost.  The key components that comprise these systems are controls, compressors, evaporators, and condensers.

There are 5 solutions available.

  1.  EC Motors for Coolers
  2. Advance refrigeration Controls 
  3. Door Heaters and Controls
  4. Variable Compressors
  5. Night Covers
