Area utilities have a generous grant program in place to cover HVAC efficiency improvements. Upgrade the efficiency of your existing equipment or facility and you may be eligible for an energy-efficiency grant. Grant incentives typically pay for about 50 percent of a project’s cost, and may fund up to 70 percent of the installed cost. Grants often range from several hundred dollars to over a hundred thousand dollars. There’s no limit to grant size as long as the upgrade meets funding and eligibility criteria.
Performance staff are experienced at designing upgrades that meet the grant qualifications and completing the required documentation. We take care of it all for you and you receive significant energy savings at bargain prices.
At Performance we have found that major property management firms are committed to energy conservation and environmental stewardship in their property management and building operation practices. Commercial buildings account for 42% of energy consumption in the United States. As environmental concerns grow, regulations become more demanding, and energy costs rise, every business must re-evaluate its energy usage as a matter of corporate and social responsibility.
The Performance Mechanical Group has entered into an Energy Performance Management agreement with some of our proffered accounts to reduce energy consumption in all buildings within their portfolios. The purpose of this program is to achieve significant energy savings through changes in building operations and occupant behavior. These efforts typically produce an immediate 3-5% reduction in energy cost. What truly sets this program apart from other energy management programs is that there is no cost to the valued tenants, or the property management firms for any of these services.
The EPM program includes:
This program’s success is dependent upon the tenants cooperation. The Performance Mechanical Group will work with you and your staff by providing you with all the necessary tools for you to do your part. Additionally, Performance will conduct a site visit of every property to gather information on the facility and its operations. This process will identify specific areas of additional energy savings. We will ask that you appoint an EPM Coordinator as the point of contact for scheduling the site visit and as the recipient of the program’s monthly reports with updated scores, analysis, and recommendations.

Performance can design an energy monitoring solution that will give you detailed feedback on your energy usage.
Many tenant leasing contracts provide property managers with the rights to bill tenants for energy usage outside of set hours. Unfortunately this is difficult to document in buildings with shared metering and mechanical systems. Performance has the systems to document out of contract usage and allow property managers to bill for this usage. With today's high energy prices these systems can recover their cost in short order.
