Five Parts with One Goal in Mind: Yielding Maximum Value
Mandatory Benchmarking
More commercial and multifamily owners will have to report complete energy and water usage through the EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® tool to comply with city benchmarking ordinances. You can rely on us to:
- Oversee your EPA Portfolio Manager and gather, validate and upload energy and water usage data for filing compliance
- Provide recommendations for improving your EPA scores
- Help create acceptable estimations of unit data for Green Loan reporting
Energy Procurement
Strategically reduce energy spending year over year and mitigate risks associated with the energy markets—like catastrophic weather events—with the ability to:
- Perform interruptible natural gas management to maximize rate incentives
- Negotiate electric, gas and renewable energy contracts and save at least 10%
- Evaluate continuous service agreements to reduce vacancy expenses and identify optimal resident referral programs
Advanced Energy Reporting
The industry’s most advanced analytics platform makes it easier to manage energy performance across your portfolio. You’ll be able to:
- Quickly spot outliers and work with in-house experts to improve performance and maximize savings
- Track emissions, review meter reads and detect water leaks with advanced energy reports
- Get abnormal consumption and leak detection alerts that pinpoint specific units that need investigation
Energy and Water Conservation
Save up to 30% on energy and water usage with comprehensive on-site audits and capital improvements that help improve property values, reduce consumption and drive higher rents by:
- Inspecting mechanical, lighting, plumbing and operational systems
- Identifying retrofit and replacement opportunities
- Developing project proposals with costs, savings, ROI, end-to-end project management, usage tracking and ongoing performance reports
Rate and Tax Assurance
Approximately 70% of all properties in states where multifamily usage is exempt from state sales tax are erroneously billed. We ensure you’re charged the correct rates and benefit from applicable exemptions by:
- Performing analysis of historical utility invoices for disparities
- Routine review of billed rates, tariffs and published rates
- Identifying state sales tax exemption opportunities and ensuring refunds are received in full
