Energy Management

The goal is to reach optimal energy efficiency and minimal carbon emissions, but to get there, you need an energy management plan. That means not only reducing your energy consumption but also continuously monitoring and analyzing your usage so you can improve efficiency. Blue Dot can help you assess your building's operational and energy needs so you can take control of your energy usage. We’ll help you devise the following strategies:

Evaluate & Reduce Demand
Let Blue Dot evaluate your HVAC system. If your HVAC system has not been regularly maintained, chances are it’s costing you more than necessary because your units are not running at optimal efficiency. Once Blue Dot's evaluation is complete, make any needed adjustments, improvements or repairs. This can generate more than a 500% return-on-investment, while reducing the negative impact on the environment. To keep your system working efficiently, consider a long-term, fixed-cost Blue Dot HVAC maintenance plan. Preventative maintenance is always cheaper than repairs or total replacement.

Sometimes it makes economical (and ecological) sense to upgrade your HVAC units. Even well-maintained HVAC systems lose efficiency over time. New systems are continually being designed with better energy efficiency in mind. Allow Blue Dot to do an analysis of your property and system. Based on savings through lowered operational costs and reduced energy consumption, we can tell you if the cost of upgrading your equipment makes sense.

Monitor in Real Time
The only effective means for participation in real-time energy markets and demand programs is through automation. Ask Blue Dot about real-time, web-based monitoring of internal conditions. This helps to keep your systems operating at maximum efficiency and at specific times when energy suppliers charge the least. With monitoring, you can effortlessly reduce building energy consumption, carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions while improving cost, comfort, health and productivity.

Blue Dot can examine your situation to see if there’s a financial case for load shedding. Load shedding, which is normally used in industrial, large commercial and utility operations, monitors electric usage continuously (usually by automated instrumentation) and shuts down certain pre-arranged electric loads or devices if a certain upper threshold of electric usage is imminent.
