Energy Advisory: Rates, Demand, Power Factor & Incentives

We act as your owner’s rep for energy — aligning design decisions, tariffs, and incentives to reduce lifecycle cost. From power factor penalties to demand ratchets, we fix the things that silently tax your project.

Utility Rate & Tariff Optimization

We analyze interval data (kW, kWh, kVAR) against alternative tariffs, riders, and demand ratchets to select the most favorable rate — and plan controls to keep it favorable.

  • Load shape + coincidence factor analysis
  • Time-of-use, demand, and ratchet modeling
  • Tariff change justification & utility liaison

Power Factor Penalty Resolution

Penalties for PF < 0.90 add up quickly. We diagnose root causes and design corrections that utilities accept — often eliminating recurring charges.

  • Motor/VFD loading assessment • kVAR modeling
  • Capacitor banks • tuned harmonic filters
  • Verification on bills & trend monitoring

Demand Response & Load Flex

Automated strategies that earn incentives while protecting comfort and operations.

  • Program selection & economics
  • Control sequences and BAS integration
  • M&V, telemetry, and settlement support

Incentive & Compliance Strategy

We build an incentive stack (utility, state, federal) that supports the design and the budget — and won’t conflict at filing time.

  • Rebate mapping & eligibility checks
  • ASHRAE/IECC modeling and QA artifacts
  • 179D/45L alignment & certification coordination
