While building HVAC systems may be meeting the needs of business operations, they are often performing in a very inefficient manner and thereby wasting energy. Routine maintenance activities will almost never uncover the hidden issues that can contribute to this inefficient operation.
EH&E makes these inefficiencies visible through a process involving real-time data collection on equipment that validates actual systems operations against intended operations. This process has been proven to improve performance and energy efficiency by 25% or more, with much of the savings linked to low-cost modifications. Our typical project results in greater than 10% savings and less than 1 year return on investment.

The economic opportunity will vary by building. Using the Energy Star Portfolio Manager building rating as guide, EH&E will benchmark your building's energy rating and compare it to like buildings in your geographic area. This rating along with utility bills allows us to give you a cost vs. savings estimate for your building.
Should the opportunity assessment uncover potential savings, EH&E’s engineers can design a cost-effective investigation to search out the root causes of inefficiencies and plan corrective actions in cooperation with facilities personnel. EH&E also provides oversight and verification services to ensure modifications achieve the predicted energy reductions. EH&E’s systems optimization process involves the following steps:
-
Define the building’s optimal operating strategy and identify the system(s) to be optimized. Document all associated equipment and review system control sequences.
-
Collect and analyze real-time energy data from representative equipment to verify operational strategy and identify performance opportunities.
-
Present findings and make recommendations for specific operational modifications.
- Oversee modifications and verify results.
