Save energy and use the money saved to make your buildings the best they can be.

Buildings that work do so efficiently and cost effectively. You can reduce your building’s energy usage and costs without sacrificing comfort. The savings you realize not only pay for the energy efficiency improvements you make, but can also be used to help your business or organization achieve key goals. Building owners, educational institutions, healthcare organizations and government agencies are doing just that. For example, the owners of the Empire State Building are implementing a comprehensive retrofit program to make the building 38% more energy efficient, reducing operating and occupancy costs, and increasing the building’s marketability and profitability. Energy cost saving projects at public schools in Buffalo, New York and Wyandotte, Michigan funded improvements that turned aging schools into exceptional learning environments without charging taxpayers a cent. By modernizing its wastewater treatment plant, the City of Rome, New York was able to reduce its energy costs and water usage and attract new businesses without any cost to taxpayers.

You can achieve results like these.

The first step is to examine your building’s equipment and operations to determine how your building consumes energy, then identify opportunities to eliminate waste and increase efficiency and develop a program to seize those opportunities. Opportunities include upgrading or replacing inefficient equipment, installing high-efficiency lighting, and installing variable speed drive chillers that operate up to 30 percent more efficiently than the industry average and geothermal heat pumps that heat and cool buildings more efficiently than conventional HVAC systems. Renewable energy technologies, such as photovoltaic (PV) solar panels can reduce your utility bills while providing clean, sustainable energy. Deploying our Metasys® building management system, which controls and integrates key mechanical and electrical building systems – HVAC, lighting, security, fire and safety – can help you optimize energy and operational efficiency, comfort and safety.

There are a number of ways to make your projects affordable. For example, performance contracting is a way to fund improvements by using the energy and operational savings to offset the project costs. We’re committed to bringing your projects in on time and within budget and provide ongoing support to help you identify additional savings opportunities and educate occupants on what they can do to conserve energy and water.
