Energy Efficiency
Energy Management Services
Historically, energy management and energy efficiency have been more about fighting against the physics of nature rather than working with them. Resource Consultants, Inc. understands that it is better to work with something than against it and has saved millions of kWhs and hundreds of thousands of BTUs by fostering diplomacy between energy management and project financing.
Building Efficiency and Industrial Processes
Saving energy (and money) begins with knowing where you use energy and where you lose it. Significant energy and dollar savings are available through effective energy management. And to manage it, you must be able to measure it. This is where Resource Consultants can help. Our professional staff is trained to look at energy functions as a direct controllable cost rather than an overhead cost. Tracking energy cost this way allows it to be compared directly to other components so that cost-benefit analyses can be performed. The result? Your business achieves greater profitability while also being more sustainable and environmentally conscious.
Our services include energy project management, audits, building surveys and funding solutions to pay for it all. We perform assessments of how facilities use energy, what is paid for the energy, and how modifications to operating practices or energy consuming equipment and processes can save money on energy bills. Resource Consultants collaborates with local utilities, Energy Trust of Oregon, and other funding source agencies to take advantage of the various funding programs and energy performance reviews they offer as a public service. We design energy optimization plans and manage specialized contractors that perform diagnostic tests so that the energy-related characteristics of an organization can be determined. Our staff can make recommendations on the most current energy efficiency technologies as well as renewable energy technologies. This progression of energy services for existing buildings and industrial processes gives our clients the confidence to make energy-related decisions to reduce their costs and maximize resources.
Resource Consultants also offers LEED AP (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Accredited Professional) capabilities for building design and construction. Currently, buildings account for nearly 40% of the total energy use and about 75% of the electricity used in the United States; however, there are multiple ways savings can be realized by using an integrated approach to energy efficiency. In addition to the energy savings, benefits to green buildings include a healthier work environment, improved productivity, and reduced operations and maintenance costs. Resource Consultants’ in-depth knowledge of high performance buildings and the credentials to get them LEED-certified gives our clients an edge in implementing and using sustainable building practices.
Resource Consultants, Inc. recognizes that clients need assurance that capital improvements made for energy efficiency or to generate renewable energy will yield promised savings. That’s why we invite you to look at our portfolio. Our firm has a solid track record of delivering successful projects and a staff with recognized, respected credentials in the energy-savings field, including a Certified Energy Manager (CEM of the Association of Energy Engineers), with expertise in a variety of areas including energy, power and green facilities. Resource Consultants also received the Green Building Engineer (GBE) designation from the AEE. These certifications, which are often required as a prerequisite for certain state contracts, distinguish Resource Consultants from other practitioners in the field.
