As the economy slows and market competition lowers profit margins, there is a need to focus on the reduction of operating expenses and the reduction of energy consumption.
Energy efficient designs have traditionally been a focus of the dlb methodology. Our involvement with the ASHRAE Energy Committee and in the definition of Utility rebate programs means that we are intimately familiar with the opportunities for energy savings.
Energy savings may be realized within existing facilities through the operational optimization of existing systems, or they may be the deciding factor behind substantial equipment replacement or upgrades.
Through our expertise in this field, dlb has guided the implementation of numerous energy savings projects. One project alone has saved our client over $25 million to date. Often, these projects have a payback of as little as 6 months.
