Energy Efficiency (Audits, ENERGY STAR Consulting and Management)

Green Ideas  energy experts focus our energy planning efforts specifically on our clients’ bottom-line. Why? Because energy cost is usually one of the largest operating costs for many facilities. Energy consumption also results in the greatest impact that buildings have on the environment over time.

We know that energy conservation and energy efficiency are cornerstones of sustainable building design, construction and operations. We also know that these issues cannot be properly considered without first establishing performance baselines for comparison.

As a result, we perform ASHRAE Level I, II, and III audits on existing facilities for energy efficiency. We develop energy road maps for our clients to define conservation, efficiency and renewable generation strategies. We ensure that our clients maximize all available rebates and incentives. We perform energy modeling and life-cycle assessment (LCA) to properly compare energy system options.

We also help clients qualify their facilities for third-party certification, which can help them enhance their market position. We are an ENERGY STAR® Partner and one of the most experienced LEED consultancies in the country. We can help clients register and track the performance of single buildings or portfolios of facilities. Our combined experience, wisdom and knowledge allows us to help clients earn certification as well or better than most any firm in the world. We excel especially in complicated facilities, like semiconductor manufacturing campuses and defense contracting firms: this means that we can handle most any building type that is certifiable.
