An energy audit is the key to a systematic approach to decision-making in the area of energy management. The primary function of an energy audit is to identify all of the energy streams in a facility in order to balance total energy input with energy use. The four main objectives of an energy audit are as follows:
To establish an energy consumption baseline
To quantify energy usage according to its discrete functions
To benchmark with similar facilities under similar weather conditions
To identify existing energy cost reduction opportunities
Companies with high peak electricity demand can benefit from the long-term energy self-sufficiency that solar solutions provider. The ability to lock in electrical rates at today’s pricing eliminates the costs associated with increasing rates. Solar systems also produce electricity for companies well beyond the ROI.
Demand is rising, costs are dropping and federal & state incentives allow businesses to start saving money immediately!
Developing and owning a solar energy system is more feasible and rewarding than ever.
The concept of combined heat and power or cogeneration is simple: Why use 3 fuels when you can use one? Combined cooling, heat and power is the simultaneous production of electrical and thermal energy from a single fuel source.
Cogeneration is not an energy source itself, but rather more of an energy multiplier, squeezing more usable energy out of each unit of fuel most everywhere it is applied.
Our engineers have had a leading role in the design and engineering of projects of varying size and complexity, which include commercial, institutional and industrial facilities.
