Our Approach
Your home or place of business is a system. Your appliances, equipment, and devices interact with you, the building envelope and the environment to define the profile of your energy consumption - electricity and gas. We will examine and measure your building, evalulate your equipment, and model the performance of the system. We will ask you some questions so that we understand how you use your building and its equipment. We will then look at simple steps you can take to reduce your energy usage without sacrificing comfort or indoor environment health. We'll show you what it costs, and how each step pays for itself. Then it's up to you - just how far do you want to go in reducing your footprint?
Initially, this evaluation will be at no cost to you. We will look at your energy bills compared to the size and attributes of your building. We will recommend further steps based on the potential for energy savings. We will then work out a plan with you to make changes at your pace in a way that fits your budget and goals, making use of available incentives and rebates. Ideally, the work will pay for itself out of energy savings, so it won't increase your cash flow. We will recommend reputable contractors to do the work. We will follow up with you to be sure you're getting the results you expected.
