Responsible Energy Management
Energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reduction are more relevant than ever today. Several cities in North America are adopting guidelines that promote the decarbonization of their territories. Montreal and Toronto, for instance, have adopted policies for building energy performance to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Many public, commercial, and industrial buildings have significant potential for energy savings and improved occupant comfort, but it is often challenging to determine where to start.
Equans Services has extensive experience in energy management and can provide a comprehensive range of services to help you reduce your energy consumption, carbon footprint, and obtain subsidies.
How does our Energy Service Offering work?
A 6-Step Approach:
Energy Monitoring
Our team of analysts takes care of monitoring your energy consumption and provides you with regular reports, ensuring that you:
- Always stay on track with your consumption objectives;
- Optimize the best possible tariff rates;
- Prepare energy budgets;
- Support your property management;
- Allocate costs to re-invoice tenants accordingly.
Recommissioning of Electromechanical Systems (RCx)
Recommissioning of electromechanical systems is a low-cost optimization process of your existing systems allowing you to:
With available grants, RCx can reduce your consumption on average between 5% to 15%, within a payback period of less than two years.
We cover all aspects of electromechanical system recommissioning (RCx):
We help you navigate the complexities of grant requests from various organizations such as:
These allow us to obtain up to 75% of the costs in financial support, depending on the program.
Ongoing Commissioning (Cx)
Ongoing commissioning includes the regular presence of a specialized analyst on site as well as remote, allowing for a rigorous analysis and follow-up of your building's operation and energy performance.
The analyst works with your operations team to maintain the highest performance standards. Energy performance guarantees are possible through this service.
Support in the Implementation of the ISO 50001 Standard
ISO 50001 standard is a globally recognized energy management system standard. The system provides property managers with a method to not only optimize the use of resources and reduce energy consumption, but also to support various stakeholders’ best behaviors and practices to create awareness of eco-energetic practices.
Our team accompanies you throughout the process, starting with grant applications, continuing with the development of your company's energy policy, through to the implementation and follow-up on uptake and measures for permanent adoption.
Energy Audit and Feasibility Study for Energy Saving Projects
Our team of experts can identify where, when, and how energy is used in your building and propose effective measures to increase its energy efficiency.
We can then help you develop your project by assisting in the application for grants, evaluating costs, estimating energy savings, establishing a schedule, and much more.
Continuous Monitoring Assisted by Artificial Intelligence
CopperTree Analytics does the work of several experienced employees monitoring 24/7:
- The performance of your systems;
- Energy consumption;
- Air quality and comfort conditions of your buildings.
CopperTree Analytics algorithms allow you to:
- Identify in real time operating problems, malfunctions, or failures of your systems, in turn enabling you to focus your efforts on real needs and reduce maintenance costs;
- Identify energy saving opportunities.
Continuously monitor ventilation rates and health and safety parameters.
