Combined Design and Construction

You deserve a trusted partner who eliminates complexity and delivers guaranteed results. Through guaranteed energy savings contracts and design-build construction/renovation we do just that.

We provide complete transparency throughout the design and construction process. Performance Services provides detailed engineering designs upfront with guaranteed actual energy savings, then allows you to see each bid that comes in with open book pricing. When construction begins, we guarantee there will be no change orders. And when the project closes, you’ll know exactly how much you’re saving off your energy bills with accurate measurement and verification and sole accountability for the success of your project.

How We Can Help

We partner with Kentucky schools and municipalities to improve facilities and address deferred maintenance without using restricted bonding capacity by utilizing guaranteed energy savings contracts (GESCs). You will see dramatic utility cost savings when replacing old, inefficient equipment with new, energy-efficient equipment. The cost savings are guaranteed and provide funding for the facility upgrades. As a result, you enjoy improved comfort and reliability without impacting bond capacity. Typical improvements made through GESC projects include upgraded building controls, HVAC replacement, LED lighting, new roofs and windows, solar power, and water-saving plumbing fixtures. We also complete new construction and renovations with design-build delivery and are a Preferred Awarded Contract with PurchasePros.

Solar Myth Vs. Fact: Top 10 Misconceptions about Solar Power

Solar power can save Kentucky schools significant money and provide educational and environmental benefits. We design the solar power system and then provide schools with an estimated amount of energy generated by the solar array(s). This number can be used to determine your utility costs per month based on past usage.
