FME Now Providing Energy Assessments and Audits
Evansville, Ind. (February 1, 2011) – Evansville-based Facility Management & Engineering (FME) is now helping clients lower facility costs through the comprehensive control of energy use. Beginning this month, the firm is offering clients the chance to achieve significant savings in all key building systems: power, water, HVAC, and building envelope.
“Energy consumption can represent a huge expense for facility managers,” says FME President and Founder Wayne Washington. “FME now brings them a proven, systematic approach to evaluate their building performance and take action for dramatic improvement.”
As Wayne explains, FME begins the optimization process with an Energy Benchmark, which compares the building’s consumption with peers. To accomplish this, FME relies on the Energy Star™ database, a cooperative venture of the DOE and EPA.
“Using the findings from our benchmarking, we can approximate the potential for savings,” says Wayne. “The next step is to conduct an on-site assessment.”
Here, explains Wayne, clients have three choices, including a “guaranteed savings option” in which FME models building performance. “With the modeled option, we guarantee a net savings after three years, or we refund the cost of our assessment.”
Energy Audits Put Confidence Behind Capital Projects.
A common problem for facility managers is determining which projects to prioritize. With FME’s Energy Audit, it becomes obvious. “We can show the facility manager which projects meet an ROI threshold, and those that offer the greatest potential return. This makes it easy to build a case for capital expenditures with confidence.”
If needed, adds Wayne, FME can help with project financing, thanks to relationships with select lenders who regularly fund energy projects. “We’ll even provide implementation and project management services... our goal is to ensure our clients get the best possible return on investment.”
Facility Management & Engineering, Inc. is the world’s leading “value-adding, do-it-right-the-first-time” provider of “One-Stop-Facility-Shops.” FME supplies parts, labor, management, and software for operating all day-to-day facility-related activities. The company also provides short- and long-term planning, engineering, and construction at its clients’ commercial, industrial, and/or government facilities.
