As you are probably aware, the largest expense in a building’s total operational budget is energy costs. And to make matters worse, studies show that about 30 percent of that energy is used inefficiently. In light of these stats, businesses across America are searching for ways to smarten up their energy efficiencies.
Where to start?
One of the best ways to achieve a positive energy efficiency rating is through a strategic energy usage analysis. In addition, it will help in saving you money on operating costs.
Start with Insights from Data
Without fully understanding how your building is performing, it’s difficult to start implementing all the latest smart technologies.
Powerful data driven insights from an energy usage analysis allows us to see a clear picture of where your building’s power quality and energy inefficiencies may exist. We then can begin making recommendations on ways to optimize energy consumption moving forward.
Create Energy Usage Analysis Solutions
Once we identify areas that we consider energy inefficient, we develop solutions to help minimize these problems. Problems specifically designed to reduce a facility’s operating energy usage and costs.
Areas of improvement typically start with fixing basics. This includes replacing high-efficiency lighting retro-fits, implementing efficient HVAC solutions, backup generation, energy control systems, combined heat and power generation and demand response.
Establish an Energy Usage Analysis Strategy to Maintain
A comprehensive energy usage analysis strategy can save on energy costs while delivering you peace of mind. Once the suggested improvements have been made, you’ll immediately begin to reduce your carbon footprint and start cutting costs.
And to make sure those positive impacts remain sustainable, we will help create a strategy for future savings. This strategy will continue to monitor your property’s performance.
Smart Solutions for Green Building Practices
According to a new report, energy efficient buildings and rising environmental concerns are the primary factors driving the adoption of smart buildings all over the world. The focus on saving energy due to depletion of non-renewable energy sources has driven consumers to implement alternative, smart solutions.
The global smart buildings market includes: escalators and elevators management systems, parking management systems, water and plumbing management systems, building communication systems, physical security systems and building energy management systems (BEMS).
Smart gadgets make our lives all a little easier. And with commercial buildings accounting for 35% of total energy usage and 65% of electricity in the US, they’re also supposed to help us conserve energy.
From parking sensors and automated lights to smart HVAC products and BIM-optimized HVAC layouts, smart solutions play an important role in the energy usage of a facility. Increasingly sophisticated tools such as smart thermostats, smart air vents and smart dampers, may initially lead to higher costs for a building, but drastically save power and costs in the long run.
