How To Get Started with an Energy Savings Performance Contract
The Performance Contracting process is not difficult. Our team will work with you to find the best solution for your facilities. Follow these simple steps to get started.
1. No-COST FACILITY ASSESSMENT
We conduct a thorough review of your buildings considering your priorities, desired timing, and budget needs. Our talented and experienced engineers provide creative insights to identify maximum savings potential. This includes examining utility bills to provide a benchmark of how much energy you are using and savings potential.
2. request for qualifications
Public entities must follow a request for qualifications or proposal before beginning any major renovation project using ESPC legislation. Cooperative purchasing may also be an option. An investment grade audit follows selection to detail the project, including energy conservation measures, project costs, and guaranteed savings.
3. project implementation
After designs are finalized and the guarantee determined, our project manager will lead construction to complete your project on budget and on schedule. Your customer experience with our team before, during, and after project completion is critically important to us. We are committed to 100% customer satisfaction and exceeding your expectations.
4. measurement and verification
Our dedicated Performance Assurance Team is introduced at project turnover. On a monthly basis, we compare your utility bills with our guarantee to make sure that your savings are being realized. Monitoring is ongoing and lasts the life of the contract. We also utilize data analytics and examine equipment run-time data to make sure your mechanical systems are performing well.
5. Savings guarantee
Performance Services provides an annual savings review and report as evidence of our promise to assure we are meeting or exceeding the guarantee. We believe in a longterm commitment to our customers and fulfilling our promises--always.
