Performance Services brings creativity and outside-the-box thinking to help colleges and universities use significantly less energy through energy master plans, capital improvements, renewable energy systems, measurement and verification, and behavioral-based energy leadership programs.
Universities and colleges live in challenging times. Budgets need to work hard. Students expect the best learning and living environments. Faculty demands comfortable teaching spaces. And everybody is aware of the need to preserve finite resources through efficient and sustainable practices.
Delivering results that meet expectations, our working style is unobtrusive and aligned as closely as possible with the routine of campus life to minimize disruption. We actively encourage campus community awareness of sustainability and energy savings.
Performance Services supports our higher education customers in the key areas of construction, refurbishment, environmental control and energy savings with both traditional and renewable technologies.
We specialize in energy master plans and campus building renovations that meet exacting standards of performance, comfort and energy efficiency. Our proven approach ensures every project delivers on time while remaining always under control.
LABORATORY ENVIRONMENTS
Research is at the core of university life and demands the best research environments. Laboratory design and construction represents the most challenging category of building and environmental projects on campus. Each specialized laboratory and clean room space has to protect the integrity of the research. Even more crucial, it has to assure the safety of the researchers. Our engineers are expert in creating energy efficient spaces that can meet the needs of researchers.
Sustainable & Renewable Energy
Sustainable energy programs have become a mainstream focus for many higher education institutions. And increasing numbers of prospective students are including campus sustainability credentials as a factor in their choice of where to study. We help higher education customers better understand and evaluate renewable energy options in pursuit of reducing their carbon footprint. The renewable energy options we implement include solar power solutions, geothermal technology and heat recovery systems.
energy master plans
For colleges and universities, a campus energy master plan represents a comprehensive strategy for managing energy resources and consumption in the future. This roadmap creates an organizational framework that provides direction and tools to identify, implement and measure energy reductions and capital improvements. At Performance Services, we work collaboratively to produce customized plans that provide measurable energy savings and meet specific budget requirements.
Universities and colleges expect beneficial outcomes from construction and refurbishment projects to include enhanced environments, greater sustainability and increased long-term control over energy consumption and costs. Performance Services delivers these benefits – reliably and with minimized intrusion and disruption.
Laboratory performance
Our higher education customers need a partner who understands the operational requirements of mission-critical, precise environments like state-of-the-art laboratories. We know that performance delivery, even at the cutting edge, can be achieved alongside flexibility, energy efficiency and sustainable performance. We ensure it is the very best instrument achievable.
energy efficient campuses
When confronted by aged equipment, escalating maintenance costs and rising energy bills, universities and colleges find that energy efficiency is a major part of a sustainable solution. Performance Services works with our higher education customers to plan and execute strategies designed to improve energy efficiency over the long term and then guarantee performance outcomes.
