OUR EXPERTISE

Our team of engineering professionals are ready to assist you no matter the project size.

  • Licensed Professional Engineers
  • LEED Accredited Professionals (U.S. Green Building Council)
  • National Project Managers
  • AEE Certified Energy Managers (Association of Energy Engineers)
  • Certified Lighting Professionals (NALMCO and AEE)
  • Certified Energy Auditors (AEE)

THE PROCESS

The first step is a visit to your site(s) to introduce our qualifications and capabilities. We will conduct a brief
engineering walk through to preliminarily qualify potential energy efficiency and sustainability opportunities.
If available, we will also look to collect additional information such as:

  • 12 months of electric, gas, and/or oil utility bills
  • Lighting and mechanical schedules
  • MEP drawings
  • Equipment lists

 

After the initial meeting, our engineering team will follow up with a comprehensive ASHRAE Level 2
equivalent audit performed by our team of specialists. This step allows us to engineer solutions with the
greatest cost-benefit and to develop a detailed project overview which will include:

  • Recommended Energy Conservation Methods (ECMs) and the technical juistifcations for each.
  • Project economics including project cost, savings, ROI, rebates, creative financing options, etc.
  • Calculcated greenhouse gas and carbon footprint reduction.
  • Additional non-financial benefits of the project.

We will prepare a final proposal including all recommended energy conservation measures, financials,
and approved utility incentives ready for your sign-off.

As a design-build energy engineering firm, we take care of everything and work around your schedule to
ensure no disruption to your operations. We provide all materials, labor, project management, recycling,
inspections, permits, etc., so your staff can remain focused on their primary responsibilities.

CASE STUDIES

LED LIGHTING UPGRADE

HERR Foods Inc.

Herr Foods Inc. was looking to improve its factory’s light quality while reducing energy costs and carbon emissions.

As a long-term energy procurement client of Evolution team designed a customized plan that would significantly improve light quality while dramatically reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.

PROJECT RESULTS: 

  • Annual savings of $135,000
  • $39,982 in free utility rebates
  • Project payback in just 2.3 years
  • Carbon footprint reduced by 3 million lbs of CO2 annually
  • 43% ROI before depreciation

GREEN STUDENT HOUSING

American Campus Communities

As a long-term owner and operator of residential communities, American Campus Communities (ACC) sees the integration of sustainable building and operational features into their properties as a critical component of delivering the best student living experience. ACC found themselves with a need to find a partner that–with an understanding of the unique needs of student housing—could offer a product solution that continues to help ACC meet their ESG goals.

PROJECT RESULTS:

  • Total annual savings from three ECMs (lighting upgrade, flow rate balancing, intelligent occupancy based thermostats) exceeded $120,000.
  • Free utility rebates exceeded $20,000.
  • Project payback in under 2.56 years.
  • Implementing this project will reduce the property’s carbon footprint by more than 1.5 million pounds of CO2 annually.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PACKAGE

The Robbins Companies

The Robbins Companies, a property management firm, was looking to reduce the overall utility spend of their office and retail portfolio. Evolution reviewed their utility supply agreements and completed a LED lighting upgrade at one of their properties, reducing their annual energy consumption and carbon footprint.

PROJECT RESULTS:

  • Updated supply pricing and contract extensions yielded an annual savings of more than $27,000 in the next few years. A savings of more than 15% per supply contract.
  • The LED lighting upgrade added energy savings of more than $2,000 a year.
  • The facility’s carbon footprint was reduced by more than 50,000 pounds of
    CO2 annually.

Average ROI on energy efficiency projects can be 50% or greater. Ready to start saving energy and money?
