LifeCycle Retro-Commissioning Energy Assessment - provides focus and direction… it is the roadmap to maximize your financial productivity.
Capital-intensive businesses like yours
need a robust cash flow to keep
operations moving
Increase Revenue $$$ and Reduce Energy Usage, while deducting expenses immediately rather than capitalizing them over the long term.

Expense reduction, income enhancement• Reduction of energy input costs • Increased profit • Reduced energy capacity charges • Reduced requirement of material inputs • Reduced maintenance costs • Reduction of errors or scrap rates • Reduction of insurance premiums • Reduced costs of emissions compliance
Business benefit/Revenue enhancement • Increased productivity • Premium pricing ability • New sustainable & green product revenue• Increased market share • New revenues
Capital performance enhancement• Capital cost avoidance• Increased facility and asset values• Increased shareholder
Risk mitigation • Enhanced workplace health and safety • Energy supply & price risk improvement• Reduced volatility of business results
Unlock how Energy Efficiency Investments create a ripple effect of “multiple benefits”
for businesses, beyond energy savings
We invite you to evaluate SIPsConstruction and related
Product Solutions that are BUILT GREEN
A building's "thermal envelope" (think of your building like a thermos, where a tight seal is optimal)
is one of the most vital components of energy efficiency.
By using advanced techniques buildings are designed, built
and tested to ensure the tightest "thermal envelope".

to cut construction costs and reduce energy use
Cool roofs help building owners save money while protecting the environment.http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/coolroofguide.pdf
Cool roofs can reduce energy bills by decreasing air
conditioning needs, improve indoor thermal comfort for
spaces that are not air conditioned, decrease roof operating temperature,
which may extend roof service life.
The Benefits of Energy Efficient HVAC
HVAC systems consume 13% of all primary energy generated around
the world with commercial buildings being the worst offenders using 30% of all energy produced.
Re-commissioning cost is recouped through utility savings, tax deductions & utility company
incentives. By Re-commissioning, the average operating cost will be reduced by 8-20%.
Green HVAC Productivity and Health Benefits
Monetary Benefits of Efficient HVAC Systems
Indoor air contamination levels can be 25 times higher than outdoor air levels. In fact, indoor air quality is ranked within the top 5 environmental risks to public health according to the United States EPA.
By eliminating or reducing inadequate ventilation; biological contaminants, bacteria, molds, pollen, and viruses; and inadequate temperature, humidity, and lighting, building owners can save money due to lost production and health care expenses
Regular HVAC system maintenance and/or retro-fitting will provide a plethora of benefits from healthier employees, resulting in less cost in healthcare and lost productivity, to utility rebates and an environmentally conscious workplace.
The ROI costs of HVAC system maintenance, repair, and upgrades will be recouped easily through the plentiful benefits available through energy efficient programs and improved health.http://www.institutebe.com/Building-Performance-Management/Studies-Show-HVAC-System-Maintenance-Saves-Energy.aspx
Lighting accounts for an average of 44 % of industrial and commercial facilities’ electricity bills.

Health & Productivity Benefits of LED Lighting
• Lower Stress and Anxiety
• Significantly Improve Productivity
• Boost Sales Up To 40%
• Stimulate Positive Health & Behavior
Studies have found that exposing employees
and/or customers to natural full-spectrum LED lighting can:
Just as plants thrive when provided sunlight, people experience
an improved sense of well-being when receiving the proper lighting.

LifeCycle Retro-Commissioning Energy Assessments
Unlocking the benefits of energy efficiency
Identify no-cost and low-cost energy saving opportunities, and a general view of potential capital improvements. Activities include an assessment of current energy usage & costs and a brief site inspection of your building.
Categorize no-cost & low-cost opportunities, & provide EEM recommendations in line with energy savings opportunities. Level II audits include an in-depth analysis of energy costs, energy usage, building characteristics and a more
refined survey of how energy is used in your building
Provide recommendations & financial analysis for major capital investments. In addition to Level I & 2 activities, Level 3 audits include a comprehensive building system
engineering & monetary ROI analysis .
Energy Efficiency Capital: An Introduction to Capital Leasing
Building owners preserve working capital, cash reserves, or other available business credit for business needs, rather than spending it on Energy Efficient retrofits, creating
a robust cash flow to keep operations moving
Whether upgrading HVAC, improving a building's "thermal envelope", upgrading lighting systems or bundling projects under a whole-building retrofit, energy efficiency projects require large upfront investments.
Capital leasing draws on the dollars to be saved for future utility bills, Energy efficient incentives & tax benefits to pay for new, energy-efficient equipment.
For the building owner who prefers to enjoy the benefits of ownership of the assets without actually owning the energy efficiency project assets, a capital lease may be the best financing vehicle. It is still a lease where the building owner is a lessee, but the lessee has access to any tax and depreciation benefits that the equipment may have.
Lease payments are typically set to match estimated energy cost savings providing net positive cash flow with little or no up-front cost. There is also the prospective for the building owner to capture tax benefits (capital lease)
Optimize energy solutions, rehabilitate existing facilities and install highly energy-efficient systems that protect the
environment, increase energy efficiency, reduce maintenance, operational costs & increase bottom line.
Qualified projects need no upfront or additional capital. Payments can be arranged to meet your energy savings.

Congress passed legislation “Energy Policy Act of 2005” to encourage property owners to build energy efficient real estate properties to promote reduction in energy consumption. Service dates have been extended from 1/1/06 through 12/31/14.
The 179D ruling allows up to a $1.80 per sq. ft. tax deduction for commercial
property owners and tenants. Note: You can go back 3 years and carry forward the 179D energy tax benefit
for 15 years. Important: Refunds may be due to you!
For energy-efficient commercial building property expenditures made by a Public Entity, such as public schools, government buildings, churches and other non-profits, the IRS now allows the deduction to be allocated to the “person primarily” responsible for designing the property and systems in lieu of the public entity.
Energy Policy Act of 2005Attention: Architects, Engineers,
Contractors and/or Energy Consultants
Why Is the Energy Tax Benefit Not Used?
Less than 1% of eligible taxpayers have filed for their energy
tax benefits with the IRS.
Millions of taxpayers are due significant benefits and possible
refunds since 2006.
Why are taxpayers missing significant energy tax benefits and
incentives?
Low Awareness – No one was interested in the “good” times.
