Services for building owners, industry and the public sector
We deliver the analysis that ESCOs and contractors charge a premium for, without the markup. Savings ranges are typical results from past projects, not guarantees for yours.
Commercial, multifamily, K-12, campus, healthcare and public buildings
Building owners and managers
Compliance, audits and the measures that cut energy, carbon and operating cost, with fees kept inside the rebates.
Benchmarking and ENERGY STAR certification
ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager setup, data verification and annual submissions for Energize Denver and Building Performance Colorado, plus Boulder and Fort Collins programs. We catch the data errors that put buildings out of compliance, and take eligible buildings through certification.
Building performance compliance
Gap-to-target analysis, target adjustments, alternate compliance options and timeline extensions, with the measure plan that closes your gap for the least money.
Energize Denver interim target 2028, final 2032
Building Performance Colorado target 2030
ASHRAE Level 1, 2 and 3 energy audits
From a walk-through to an investment grade audit under ASHRAE Standard 211: system inventory, measure-level savings, costs, paybacks, carbon and available rebates. Our Level 2 audits meet Energize Denver's audit requirements.
Audit fees never above the estimated rebate
Denver rebate: $5,000 to $30,000
Retro-commissioning
Trend analysis, functional testing and controls tuning across air-side, plant and BAS sequences, so the building runs the way it was designed.
10 to 30% typical energy savings
Typical payback 0.5 to 2 years
Energy modeling
The right model for the decision: TRM calculations for rebates, bin and 8,760-hour models calibrated to interval data, and OpenStudio and EnergyPlus whole-building simulation.
Electrification and decarbonization planning
Heat pump, heat pump water heater and all-electric conversion feasibility, sequenced against your capital plan and compliance dates.
Rebates, incentives and project development
Xcel Energy and Denver rebates, Section 179D and other federal incentives, packaged and tracked until the money lands with you.
Manufacturing plants, process facilities and large energy users
Industrial facilities
Lean tools and energy engineering for the production floor, including studies that are paid from the value they find.
Lean, Six Sigma and PFMEA process evaluation
We map the process, rank failure modes and remove waste in energy, materials and time, drawing on years running aerospace production lines.
5 to 25% process and energy savings
Typical payback 1 to 3 years
Industrial energy assessments
Compressed air, process heating and cooling, motors and drives, refrigeration and plant controls, with utility custom incentives applied.
Industrial energy tax audits
We assess energy use across your processes and work with your tax professionals to claim the deductions you qualify for. Our fee is a share of the value recovered, so there is nothing to pay upfront.
Value can reach the millions for large manufacturers
Cities, counties, utilities and energy programs
Municipalities and utilities
Roadmaps, policy and programs that move whole markets, built by someone who has designed and run them.
Decarbonization and net zero roadmaps
Community and portfolio plans that sequence codes, benchmarking, building performance standards, incentives and funding, like the City of Golden's Roadmap to Net Zero Buildings.
Building performance policy and stakeholder facilitation
Code and BPS policy support, stakeholder workshops and technical guidance that owners can actually follow.
Utility and municipal program design
Design and evaluation of DSM, demand response, DER, electrification and EUI programs, prescriptive and custom, from the engineer who built Denver's building electrification program.
Grid and distributed energy consulting
Feasibility and program support for solar, storage, thermal energy storage, demand response and grid-interactive buildings.
EV and fleet roadmaps
Fleet and charging plans that fit your electrical capacity and utility rates.
Research for utilities
Technology and market research on heat pumps, HVAC, ventilation, industrial loads and more, drawing on 211 research answers for 48 utilities and efficiency organizations.
Ongoing support, not a sales pitch
From plan to project, through our partner network
Our service is the engineering, the analysis and the rebates. When it's time to build, we stay on your side of the table: we answer questions, review bids and refer you to partners we trust, favoring locally owned small businesses.
We are not a general contractor and we do not provide MEP design, so we never profit from construction or equipment sales.
