And the best part? Energy performance contracts often enable us to overhaul your energy systems at no cost. The innovative financing technique behind EPC can put low-cost energy use within your reach, and there’s no better time to get started. Keeping reading to learn about the ins and outs of performance contracting, and what your EPC project can look like with the experts at Iconergy.
What is Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)?
An energy performance contract provides a budget-neutral approach to achieving energy savings, sustainability, and efficiency objectives. All services are paid for by the guaranteed energy savings your building will produce after our work is done.
Our services can include everything from localized retrofits to full energy system replacements, depending on your facilities. In any case, you’ll know exactly how and where your EPC funding is spent before construction begins.
If the project energy savings aren’t realized within a predetermined timeframe, we’ll cover the difference. As a qualified energy services company (ESCO) Iconergy has the ability to receive an EPC from local or state governments and perform a full energy overhaul at no cost to your organization.
This low-risk, high-reward financing structure provides an unprecedented opportunity to achieve energy modernization and savings. So, what does a typical EPC contract look like?
Our Approach to Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)
We don’t believe in limited-scope services—we take pride in creating a comprehensive energy strategy that’s entirely unique to your needs. Still, we’ll give you a rundown of EPC contracts and how we utilize them to maximize efficiency…
Consulting & Auditing
We’ll start with a comprehensive evaluation of your facilities. During this phase, we typically audit existing energy systems and model past, present, and future energy use. This crucial first step gives us the insight we need to implement long-term efficiency measures and ensure project objectives are met.
Design & Commissioning
Our team of experienced engineers will design each energy component to ensure it will perform optimally within your facility’s complete energy ecosystem. After our design is checked and re-checked, we’ll hire and manage the teams that will be installing new energy systems.
Monitoring & Verification
Our work doesn’t end after new energy systems are installed in your facilities—we’re committed to long-term efficiency. So, alongside monitoring and verifying the projected energy savings from your EPC contract, we’ll ensure you’ve got the knowledge and technology you need to make sustainability a standard.
How Can EPC Help Your Facilities go the Extra Mile?
EPC contracts are designed to give you the modern energy tools and tech you need to run a more efficient facility. The ultimate goal is long-term energy savings, and an energy system that can withstand the test of time. And we aim to take sustainability a step further—we design and install energy systems that lay a foundation for future energy upgrades, so you’ll stay ahead of the curve.
The bottom line is, EPCs makes comprehensive energy savings accessible, and it doesn’t end there… Green building certifications such as LEED, WELL, and Energy Star can often be attained to increase savings and make your facilities stand out.
With an EPC the sky is the limit, but working with a qualified energy services company (ESCO), like Iconergy, is key…
