The auditors employ their technical and engineering expertise to analyze, recommend and provide a written report identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption and estimate the associated savings.

Power Factor Correction

Utilities penalize loads with low power factors. Often those penalties can be exorbitant. We can provide a cost benefit analysis of a power correction project and help you institute the recommended remedial measures when it makes economical sense.

Predominate Use Study – Tax Exemptions

Not all supply purchases are subject to taxes. For instance, if you have a manufacturing facility your business may qualify for tax exemptions, but you have to prove that you qualify. That is where we can help. Our consultants will conduct a predominate use study which will document the manufacturer’s use of electricity – this is required to get the exemption. There are other reasons that your business may qualify for tax exemptions. If that is the case, we will prepare and file the documents for the exemption and request tax refunds.

We provide turn-key analysis, procurement and support when it comes to the addition of renewable energy to a client’s portfolio. During the energy procurement process we can mandate that energy offers contain a specified amount of green energy. Or, we can help you in each phase of the REC and carbon offset procurement process and validation.

RECs

Purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (“RECs”) is one of the easiest ways your business can support green sources of power. By purchasing RECs you offset the environmental impacts of conventional fossil fuel generated electricity by supporting environmentally friendly renewable energy projects such as wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, etc. Each REC equates to the production of one megawatt-hour of actual renewable generation. Producers of renewable energy earn and sell their RECs in an open market.

We can help you purchase RECs in your desired amounts. It will guarantee that the energy you use in the amount of the RECs is added to the power grid from a renewable energy producer and supports the further development of green resources.

Reducing emissions can be one of the most important and effective steps a company can take to reduce its environmental impact and save money. But implementing and managing a strategy has become more complicated than ever. That is where our market experts can help. We can do custom carbon footprint calculations and offer a full range of management solutions.

Similar to purchasing RECs, we can help you purchase Carbon Offsets which is a way to compensate for greenhouse gas emissions. The proceeds from the sale of the offsets are then invested in sustainability projects across the country and around the world.

LEED, Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, certification applies to buildings that are being newly constructed or are going through a major renovation. LEED is a program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. Building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification.

For building owners the benefits are saving money, conserving energy, reducing water consumption, improving indoor air quality, making better building material choices and being recognized as a good steward of the environment. Plus you may qualify for a host of incentives like tax rebates and zoning allowances.

If you want to go down that path, one of our advisors will assist you in that journey.
