Energy Analysis

Leverage Your Energy Resources

The GMI approach to energy analysis starts with our clients’ needs and objectives. Before any analysis begins, we work to understand your mission and how you use your buildings to achieve it. Only then do we recommend facility equipment and operations strategies that help you achieve your goals. Our approach to energy analysis may include any or all of these services, as well as many others:

  • Level I, II, and III energy audits
  • In-depth field investigation and measurement
  • Software based energy modeling
  • HVAC equipment condition and efficiency analysis
  • Lighting requirements analysis
  • Operations review
  • Implementation materials list
  • Life cycle economic analysis
  • Cost estimates
  • Utility rate structure analysis
  • Facility occupant interviews
  • Energy Savings Performance Contracting counsel
