Alares Architects and Engineers identified many strategies and upgrades that would create a significant increase in the operational efficiency at each facility, provide greater comfort for building users, and lower costs.
Nearly $6 million were projected as total potential savings through energy efficiency improvements.
Improvement and upgrades recommended across all 10 facilities included:
- Lighting Upgrades and New Controls
- Water Usage and Sewage Reductions
- Optimization of Electric Motors
- Building Automation Systems (BAS)
- Energy Management Control Systems
- Cost-Benefit to client by using a Single Contract Provider
The process of using one provider for such a comprehensive project – 10 Energy Audits across 10 facilities – was, in itself, an efficient process. One contract was more cost-effective than 10 separate contracts.
As a single service provider, Alares Architects and Engineers was, also, able to identify more “economy-of-scale” benefits and faster payback periods through its Energy Audit recommendations.
