Our ENERGY STAR benchmarking service establishes performance baselines for compliance and ESG reporting. We collect and verify utility data to compare properties against national standards, identify efficiency opportunities, and submit reports for local disclosure laws. With direct integration to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, we provide portfolio-wide analysis and strategic recommendations to improve energy performance.
Building Certifications
We guide clients through LEED, Fitwel, and ENERGY STAR certification processes for commercial properties. Our team assesses eligibility, manages applications, and implements required improvements to achieve prestigious sustainability credentials. These certifications enhance market value while demonstrating compliance with environmental standards and attracting ESG-focused investors.

Our ASHRAE Level I-III audits identify operational inefficiencies in commercial buildings. Through on-site inspections and data analysis, we provide cost-benefit recommendations for lighting retrofits, HVAC upgrades, and water conservation measures. Audits include retro-commissioning reports and exemption verification for compliance with local energy ordinances.

We design and manage energy efficiency retrofits including LED lighting, HVAC controls, and solar PV installations. Our licensed contractors oversee project implementation, ensuring compliance with building codes and eligibility for utility incentives. Post-installation verification confirms performance improvements and tracks long-term energy savings.
