 Electric Utility Rates: Tariff structures

• Perform an evaluation of the client’s current tariff and provide recommendations on potential measures or alternative tariffs to reduce their building’s energy costs.

What are Energy Conservation Measures?

The implementation of equipment, techniques, processes, and controls within a reasonable return on investment in order to increase energy efficiency and conservation while at the same time reducing energy demand and facility costs. 

Potential ECMs

• Replace constant volume systems to variable volume to increase efficiency and controllability

• Implement an Energy Management Controls

• Lighting retrofit: interior/exterior lighting, exit signs, etc.

• Installation of motion and occupancy sensors for lighting systems

• Shift electrical loads to off-peak hours

• Chillers, condensing units and motors replacement

• Air distribution improvement

• Identify outside air reduction opportunities

• Identify air changes reduction opportunities for clean rooms

• Building envelope: window retrofit with energy models

• Energy recovery (Heat Waste or Cold Air)

• Heat Pipe Technology in Air Handling Units

• Demand side renewable energy projects (solar / wind)
