EnergyMan LLC uses a simplistic approach concerning energy audits and improvement projects. Our experience ranges from small and large commercial sites (including schools, churches, hotels and office buildings) to large industrial complexes. Many companies advertise complex surveys, energy modeling, and computer simulations as the initial approach. While those are powerful tools, they are generally overkill for most energy projects. They take considerable time and can be quite costly. We don’t believe in a big bang approach to savings, we believe that momentum can be gained by simple utility analysis. This leads to easily identifiable, and easy to correct changes. The initial savings can demonstrate early success, generate management interest, and can provide cost avoidance money to fund more valuable capital intensive projects. We take the time to ensure the customer understands the root causes of what is driving the energy costs, and we then review our recommendations to reduce these costs. We also oversee the implementation and ensure that the maximum savings has been captured.
