August 5, 2009—VFA, Inc., a leader provider of end-to-end solutions for facilities capital planning and spend management, has introduced new Energy Assessment Services, which identify opportunities to save energy and reduce costs in existing buildings.
This service allows organizations to understand the return on potential energy efficiency investments, establish baseline metrics for tracking energy reductions, make the case for funding energy efficiency projects, and integrate energy efficiency programs into their overall capital plans, according to the company.
Facilities and major building systems, such as HVAC and lighting, are typically the largest contributors to an organization’s overall energy consumption. VFA’s Energy Assessment Services focus on the key information an organization needs in order to make decisions about energy efficiency investments in existing buildings, including recommended measures for reducing energy consumption and related costs, and justification for project implementation such as detailed project costs, estimated savings and payback periods.
It is offered as part of the VFA Green Building Assessment or Facility Condition Assessment or as a standalone service. VFA’s Energy Assessment Services can also work in conjunction with other energy efficiency evaluation mechanisms, including detailed energy audits, notes the company. VFA also collaborates with engineering and consulting firms that offer services such as in-depth alternative energy sourcing, carbon footprint calculation and offsetting, or systems redesign.
