Modernize to improve the bottom line.

Efficiency targets the Q in your P x Q – i energy management equation, helping reduce the quantity of energy your facilities consume and, therefore, your overall cost.

These solutions range from commissioning tools that help you manage your current infrastructure more efficiently to full-blown building “retrofits” that replace existing infrastructure components, such as lights, windows and HVAC systems, with more efficient ones.

Ironically, the path to efficiency is typically inefficient. Energy audits today look much like they did twenty years ago, with teams of engineers inspecting every inch of a building – at great time and cost – to identify areas of energy improvement.

World Energy brings you a better way: the Virtual Energy Audit™. Through a strategic investment in Retroficiency, a Boston-based firm born out of MIT, World Energy can now reveal opportunities for smarter energy management in a single building or across a portfolio of buildings at a fraction of the time and cost. The approach is rooted in three breakthroughs:

• Virtual energy auditing, which enables building managers to quickly and easily identify key areas for improvement; strategize based on resource availability, time-to-benefit, and other factors; and act confidently to decrease energy use and spend. All you need are your building specifications and energy usage data – the software’s predictive analytics do the rest.
• Virtual energy commissioning, which leverages the audit to identify and recommend no-cost operational changes that lower your energy consumption without compromising occupant comfort.
• Virtual energy analysis, which continually runs sophisticated software to identify areas for ongoing improvement. The analysis considers myriad changing conditions that impact the cost and payback of your efficiency measures, including energy prices, building conditions and upgrades, weather, and implementation costs. The output of the analysis is a living game plan that provides the insight to help you make the right efficiency moves at the right time across your portfolio.

This new software-based approach to efficiency saves you time and money, while making it easy to simulate various retrofit and energy management options, track your progress and make iterative updates to your efficiency plan.
