In today's modern world, energy is the cornerstone of our lives. It powers our homes, fuels our industries, and connects us globally. However, our reliance on energy comes at a price, both financially and environmentally. Particularly, buildings are massive consumers of energy; their inefficient energy usage can increase operational expenses and maximize a large carbon footprint. We all want to lower our building's expenses, but we do not intend to do so at the price of competence. So what should we do?

You'll be surprised knowing we have the solutions. We supply you with cutting-edge technologies that optimize energy usage. We help you adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle while also providing a great opportunity to save money.

With our solutions, we help companies reduce energy waste and operating expenses. We support you at every stage, whether you are planning a new energy-efficient building project or renovating your current facilities. With decades of experience, our staff provide customized solutions for each client. We implement state-of-the-art technology that helps you with a smooth transition.

1. Investment Grade Energy Audits

To propose a comprehensive energy solution, the first step is to determine the capacity of your central plant, HVAC, lighting, and insulation. An investment-grade energy audit is the most detailed level of energy assessment. It goes beyond identifying energy-saving opportunities; it provides precise financial analysis, engineering-grade calculations, and risk assessment to support capital investment decisions.

Our qualified auditors conduct precise assessments and detect your system's potential for energy saving. This process also helps our specialists in identifying any deficiencies and weaknesses in your system.

The energy audits provide a detailed analysis of your energy consumption. That is why an IGA is necessary before energy performance contracting (EPC), large-scale energy retrofits, central plant optimization, and HVAC modernization and electrification.

Investment-grade energy audits also design targeted solutions for lighting retrofits, HVAC upgrades, BMS/BAS controls, and renewable integration.

The data obtained during an IGA will help us tailor solutions, start an energy management program, and generate energy-efficient upgrades. The data tells us where, how, and why the energy is being used, what areas are operating well, and what areas need improvement.

It is worth mentioning that we also provide a comprehensive financial analysis for each recommended solution. This ensures you understand the potential return on investment.

We believe saving energy means saving money and the planet, and an energy audit is the crucial first step toward these goals.

2. HVAC System Upgrades

The outdated components of your existing HVAC system contribute to its inefficiency. That is why upgrading your HVAC system is crucial for efficiency. When multiple breakdowns occur, people usually decide to install new HVAC systems. But you don’t necessarily need a new building to have a smarter and more sustainable place. What you need is to upgrade and finetune some of your current systems to create a safer, more comfortable, and more productive environment that operates at peak efficiency and lower expenses. By keeping the equipment operating at its highest efficiency, we can actually save a huge amount of money.

We typically begin by modernizing HVAC systems because heating and cooling account for a significant portion of energy expenses in commercial buildings. Retrofitting your HVAC system is a thorough procedure. In this procedure, we replace some components with more efficient ones, ductwork improvements, identify solutions, add filtration systems and air purifiers, and install smart thermostats or building automation systems.

3. HVAC and Controls Optimization

HVAC system optimization is different from HVAC system upgrades.

Upgrades involve replacing older, less efficient equipment with newer, more efficient models.

However, optimization involves enhancing the performance of the existing system through adjustments and smart controls.

HVAC optimization is a means to meet client needs. We implement innovative technology, engineering expertise, and creative financial solutions to streamline your HVAC. Optimizing your HVAC will help you decrease energy consumption, expenses, and carbon emissions. It also enhances your comfort, and we can ensure that we meet our expectations.

4. Central Plant Optimization

Aging HVAC and central plant, rising energy costs, and performance issues are often a signal that you need central plant optimization.

Furthermore, if you are concerned about sustainability and compliance, Central Plant Optimization can assist you.

Central plant optimization typically focuses on improving the interaction between all the components in equipment and control systems.

The key objective in central plant optimization is to minimize energy consumption. This reduces operational expenses (sometimes millions annually) and lowers the carbon footprint. The process improves users’ comfort and the system’s reliability.

Sometimes central plant optimization gives us enhanced control and monitoring through advanced software. Altogether, it increases the lifespan of your system.

5. Lighting Retrofits

Lighting retrofits is an easy way to reduce energy consumption. At EcoGreenVision, we offer energy-efficient solutions that lower your bills and improve automation.
​
A lighting retrofit is the process of replacing outdated lighting with LEDs. These LEDs use up to 75% less energy and last longer. Lighting retrofit lowers energy consumption, saves money, lasts longer, and makes your space look brighter and more attractive.
​
We also implement smart lighting solutions, such as motion sensors, dimmers, and daylight harvesting systems (systems that adjust to natural light). These solutions lower energy usage, costs, and your carbon footprint, all while keeping our space comfortable, secure, and productive.

6. Electrification

Concerned with environmental issues? Want to decrease your carbon footprint?

If you use old gas boilers or fossil-fuel-powered HVAC systems in your facility, you'll never reach that sustainability target. So, what is the solution? Electrification is the key to reduce emissions and expenses. It is the process of converting traditional fossil fuel systems to efficient, all-electric systems.

At EcoGreenVision, we manage the entire electrification transition to modernize your energy infrastructure. Through electrification, we do various things, including upgrading gas-powered systems to smart electric alternatives, installing EV charging stations, integrating renewable energy sources, and more. For instance, we replace your gas boilers with electric heat pumps, or we use electric water heaters instead of gas-fired systems.

These smart solutions are the future of energy, so electrification is a way to future-proof your business. Not only does it benefit the environment, but it is also cost-effective in the long run. Electrification is financially the right choice because of rising fossil fuel expenses.

7. Occupant-Centric and Smart Controls

Occupant-Centric Controls (OCC) refer to building systems that automatically adjust based on real-time information about the people inside the building. These systems usually are HVAC or lighting and use data such as occupancy, preferences, schedules, and behaviors.

The goal in using occupant-centric design is to ensure maximum comfort while using only the necessary amount of energy, making buildings both efficient and people-friendly.

Also, smart controls are the technological backbone of modern energy systems. They involve sensors, automated controls, AI, machine learning algorithms, and cloud-based management platforms.
These controls continuously monitor, analyze, and adjust HVAC, lighting, and energy systems to optimize comfort, efficiency, and cost with zero manual intervention. By using occupant-centric design and smart controls, we enhance energy efficiency, improve comfort, reduce expenses, and improve sustainability. We also provide real-time analytics for smarter decisions.
