Get engineered solutions built specifically to maximize your government building's operations
The operation of government building is critical to keeping our nation running and meeting the needs of all constituents. However, on average, these facilities are 60 years old, meaning most likely have outdated energy systems, ranging from old HVAC systems to inefficient lighting (fluorescent or incandescent) and more.
Federal buildings used by our nation’s armed forces or the Internal Revenue Service operate on longer operating schedules than normal office spaces, which results in higher electric demand consumption and, consequently, higher utility bills. These costs, as well as the costs to run old, inefficient existing equipment, can be mitigated by installing the latest ENERGYSTAR approved appliances, upgrading to LED lights, integrating renewable energy, like solar panels, and introducing smart controls like a building automation system to better regulate energy use throughout each day.
