ENERGY AUDIT & CONSULTANCY
“To propose a smart solution, you have to initially understand the existing problem”
For every existing site we visit, we always tend to commence by an energy audit activity as a first approach, aiming to disclose all existing problems and possible opportunities. Once we have all data in hand, our engineers will work deliberately to crack the numbers and propose the smartest solutions possible. The outcomes are presented by a comprehensive valuable report, distinguished by its practical workflow methodology that gets the theory down to earth.
Our report intends to be a comprehensive cook-book for the entire project, from scoping, to design, to implementation. For that purpose, we aim to follow a unique business methodology which we call the 3-R Model. Below is a chart summarizing the 3-R phases that cover up our entire report and project cycle.
1- HOLISTIC APPROACH
In many cases, the true savings will not be revealed unless two or more solutions for different energy sectors are applied together. This is called the synergy effect. Adopting the holistic eye through our audits gives us our competitive advantage, and enables us to unveil the real opportunities hidden behind the wisdom and beauty of synergy.
2- FEASIBLE SOLUTIONS
We believe that our reports should not remain words on paper, since the bottom-line objective is to implement the proposed solutions and benefit from the fruits of the outcomes. Theoretically, several solutions may exist for any given problem, but what practically holds valid is the one that can be implemented with the least constraints and efforts possible, and yet deliver the required savings. For us, only feasible solutions are considered and mentioned in our findings.[/zozo_vc_section_title]
The only way to reduce costs of adopting energy efficiency solutions is to plan to integrate those measures from the early construction phases. We believe that doing something right from the start is much easier and less costly than including it at later stages.
Our certified engineers will consult you from the very early phases of your construction project, leading you to a sustainable “greenprint” prior to any physical implementation. We will share our knowhow to enhance your drawings from the mechanical, electrical, architectural and structural perspective to ensure that the construction is designed and built to the highest sustainable standards possible in the given site and with the given budget.
Doing it right from scratch, your sustainable site will incur minimal extra costs possible on one hand, and maximal desired value on the other. The low cost and high value solutions will optimize profits especially when the site is intended for commercial trade, since investors would now wish to pay a premium aiming to benefit from the cumulative savings of the sustainable facility continuously through time.
Smart Age team is always standing ready to consult, supervise and contract the sustainable plans set and agreed upon. Once the site is functioning with the implemented sustainable plans, we can help our clients apply for an international Green Certification Program such as the LEED or BREEAM programs, to classify and rate the sustainability level of their constructions. This will give the certified facility a higher credibility in the eyes of investors, allowing our clients to benefit from premium profits and markups.[/zozo_vc_section_title]
