Every building has operational deficiencies; the science behind managing energy in a large facility involves understanding the economic, legislative, and social demands facing your organization and how to prioritize them with limited resources. Albireo Energy will work with a customer to understand internal goals, budgets, and investment criteria, and develop a plan to best address the deficiencies and set priorities.

Economic Priorities – Energy rates, distribution charges, utility incentives, and occupant productivity can all impact the economic returns of improvements. Albireo Energy works with our customers to determine upgrade costs, project savings, evaluate utility incentives and financing alternatives, and project financial returns. We will define solutions that meet financial hurdles and remain within budget.

Legislative Priorities – In many geographic or vertical markets, there are local or federal mandates related to energy efficiency and sustainability that must be met. These often include LEED®, Energy Star, and emissions reduction requirements. Albireo Energy will help define realistic goals and create a detailed plan with required investments to help meet legislative mandates.

Social/Environmental Priorities – Whether meeting emissions reduction goals, efficiency targets, or building certification ambitions, Albireo Energy can help quantify energy and emissions reductions, define critical investments, and calculate expected returns. Armed with data, customers can make the most intelligent decisions on where to allocate investments.
