Energy Plus Solutions

State regulatory and public entity EPA Benchmarking and ESG sustainability reporting/targeting.
Requires establishing portfolio baseline, goal setting and implementing success metrics.

Project Plan:

Electricity, Natural Gas, Steam, Oil, LPG, Water, Sewer:

Engineering & design - Licensed professional engineer (NJ and PA) with HVAC design credentials enable efficient facility energy audits to identify and implement HVAC operating and capital improvements.
Utility regulation management - Monitor New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York legislative and regulatory policies that increase energy rates and intervene as applicable.
Budgeting & forecasting - Produce weather & occupancy adjusted budgets.

Default utility service rates computed by account.
Third Party (ESCo) proposals solicited by account.
Transact only accounts demonstrating savings.
Periodic savings metric reporting.
Price risk bandwidth and supply terms established and negotiated per client requirements.

Time-of-Use ("TOU") tenant billed rates can be 30% higher than average rates that landlords typically apply. Higher tenant utilities revenue lowers net building costs. Representative NJ commercial office revenue improvement typically 20-30%.
Establish TOU facility monthly electricity rates.
Guide billing agents in application of electricity rates to produce monthly tenant electric bills.

5-10% consumption savings - no/lo cost.
Energy density bench marking yields relative facility efficiency portfolio rankings to prioritize action.
Energy use awareness - periodic usage diagnostics and walk-through audits - help motivate facility engineer's operating practices.
Successes and challenges experienced throughout the portfolio are shared and analyzed with facility engineers and managers.
Emerging technologies are evaluated and if beneficial advanced by collaboration with finance and operations groups as applicable.

Real time operation fitness - see real time energy use vs. historical and facility custom Goal Profile.
Analytics develops best practices Goal Profile.

Goal Profile captures historical Building Automation System, electricity, weather, and physical occupancy data.
Benchmark to comparable top performing facilities.
Consult with facility engineers for Goal Profile agreement.
Goal Profile target with actual real-time energy use provides near instant operator awareness and opportunity for best practices action thus maximizing energy efficiency.

Identify efficiency improvements and onsite generation.
Quantify project economics.
NJ Clean Energy incentive programs leveraged to maximize cash ROI.
Comprehensive NJ Large Energy Users Program (NJLEUP) incentive management (applies to portfolios approximately 2 million SF and larger).
Tax and Solar PV project incentives
Engineer Procure Construct - professional services.

NJ LEUP Efficiency Improvements - Sample:

Canopy Solar PV Generation Plant - Sample:

Support portfolio policy by providing engineering and design advice on many potential technology applications:

Update operating protocols per current industry guidelines.
Assess existing HVAC system operation risk.
Observe personnel operating practices and HVAC system performance for operating guideline conformance.
Recommend equipment and systems to mitigate risk.
Marketing direction and asset positioning for tenant retention and attraction.
Lease language modifications minimizing landlord COVID-19 operating and capital cost exposure.
