Now that we have in-depth knowledge of your facilities, we can create a conservation and sustainability plan that targets the most savings in the least amount of time. Here is what a typical plan may cover:

​

• Bill Monitoring/Overcharge Recovery – for items such as incorrect meter readings, demand charges, credits, applicable discounts and allowances, and taxes. We will also review the applicability of tariffs for possible misclassification by the utilities and that all contracted rates are being applied correctly.

​​

• Rate Optimization – reviews your present rates and recommend rate reduction opportunities through optional rates, incentive programs, or new negotiated rates and term contracts.
  

• Power Factor Correction & Meter Consolidation – review your electric usage history and bills to investigate for power factor penalties and potential meter consolidation to reduce pass-through charges and demand ratchet charges to take advantage of any incentive programs.
  

• Predominant Use Studies – completed major predominant use studies that required in-depth technical knowledge of Heating and Cooling equipment along with he associated energy required for dehumidification of clean room and manufacturing areas. Our past experience in industrial engineering with Central Power and Light (American Electric Power) enables the firm
  to accurately separate the energy consumption required for manufacturing. The firm also works predominant use studies in conjunction with experienced ex-state auditors to ensure that all current applicable tax laws and rules are taken into account in the studies. As a team, our firms provide each client with the best opportunity for tax exemption and defend the study if needed during audits. The team efforts provide our clients with the peace of mind, knowing that all the energy and tax advantages were prepared by experts in their respective fields



• HVAC and Thermal Storage Review – conceptual master plans for several highly specialized HVAC system designs, including medium and high-pressure duct distribution systems, VAV supply, and thermal storage systems. Projects have been completed in industrial buildings, hospitals, medical buildings, and central plant facilities. The firm has worked extensively with
  chilled water systems and water thermal storage. Possible implementation of energy management software to track and optimize the energy consumption of the central plants to reduce chiller energy and demand spikes.
  

• Demand Response/DSM Projects – complete building and industrial audits which range from customer equipment scheduling to plant manufacturing process rescheduling to reduce unnecessary demand spikes on electrical utility companies and participate in the ERCOT Demand Response program to create a revenue stream. Several chiller, thermal energy storage, and high efficiency motor master plans have been developed for customers in harmony with utility goals to allow for infrastructure constraints and demand management for the mutual benefit of the utility and customer.
  

• Boiler Optimization – evaluation of boiler efficiencies and consumption for energy cost reduction measures as well as providing documentation for manufacturing tax exemption.
