FACILITY OPTIMIZATION
total energy and sustainability management
FACILITY OPTIMIZATION: SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Multi-site companies are constantly challenged to cut costs while maintaining company quality, performance and comfort. Ecova addresses these challenges by combining comprehensive cost and consumption data with industry benchmarks and expert independent advice that allows you to improve utility and operational efficiencies. Our insight into energy, water and waste expenditures across your portfolio allows you to target changes in equipment, building, operations and capital projects to reduce expenses, improve efficiency and achieve sustainability goals.
THE PROCESS Energy management is an ongoing process. Variables—including weather, systems and equipment and people—can change constantly and all have a major impact on resource management. Finding ways to continually monitor and improve performance is essential to achieving optimal results.

FACILITY OPTIMIZATION Through outlier investigation, Ecova targets the “most efficient” and “least efficient” sites for further assessment to determine why they are performing above or below the norm and, if needed, provide a prioritized set of recommendations to improve performance. ■■ Improve efficiency of equipment, operations and buildings based on a pri-
oritized set of recommendations for no cost, low cost and capital investment projects. ■■ Provide detailed recommendations for technology and solutions to improve
efficiencies and save money, including an estimated return on investment.
SEE MORE Gain broad visibility and precise insight into inefficiencies and performance of facilities and equipment, with truth in data. We work with our clients to analyze resource use, target risks and inefficiencies with pinpoint accuracy, and model and measure past, real-time and future impacts.
■■ Maximize results; communicate best practice approaches across portfolio.
TAKE ACTION Capture resource savings by implementing recommended changes and modifying behavioral and operational procedures. For projects requiring some capital investment, Ecova researches relevant rebates and incentives to help fund these initiatives. ■■ Overcome internal and external barriers to implement data driven strategy. ■■ Determine and correct excessive utility use with engineering support. ■■ Commission energy management system (EMS) devices and sensors.
SAVE MORE Lower expenses and increase return on capital investments, with truth in results. Make better use of your capital, equipment, facilities and people by managing demand and lowering costs across more categories. Fund and extend efficiency programs to more sites and clients.
MONITOR Monitor, track and report on cost and consumption data and trends. Ensure solutions are sustainable and your ROI is maintained with standard and custom reports to support data insight and track year-over-year changes. Understand equipment issues across your portfolio with a 24/7/365 Optimization Control Center that responds to alerts and alarms created by your EMS. ■■ Optimize occupant comfort and support asset maintenance and efficiency.
SUSTAIN MORE Build lasting advantages for your bottom line and environment, with truth in partnership. Change behavior among employees, and ensure continual progress toward energy and sustainability goals while building lasting advantages for your business.
■■ Ensure critical building systems, such as HVAC, lighting and building
controls, function properly. ■■ Establish the source of most problems with sophisticated diagnostic tools
that, in many cases, correct issues remotely.
REALIZE RESULTS Up to 30% of a building’s energy is wasted through controllable inefficiencies. Ecova provides data visibility and expert insight to translate these inefficiencies into effective resource management and bottom line savings.
