Chicago Energy Benchmarking

  ​Utilivate uses its proprietary and proven Whole Enterprise Approach to Sustainable Energy Performance. This process is designed to help Energy Managers and other facility professionals develop and implement a comprehensive and sustainable energy management program for their organization.
Utilivate provides comprehensive energy management services to prioritize and implement high-impact, energy conservation measures.   Utilivate works closely with clients in developing a comprehensive energy baseline and its proprietary Performance-Grade Energy Assessment for targeted facilities.
Utilivate energy experts will benchmark the building’s energy use, verify energy data using credentialed energy professionals, and report outcomes to the building owner and City of Chicago consistent with the requirements of the City of Chicago Energy Benchmarking Ordinance.



  
Sustainable Energy Performance
  

Utilivate delivers its Sustainable Energy Performance (SEP) program through a rigorous in-person or webinar training program or direct consulting engagement.  In either case, a successful program must integrate energy planning with other critical planning activities. Workshop participants gain a better understanding of the ways in which accountability for results, establishment of meaningful measures and goals, a commitment to regular review, and the personal endorsement of senior leadership are all critical ingredients for an effective energy management program.

  
Energy Efficiency & Conservation
  

Utilivate's Performance-Grade Energy Assessment will provide an overview perspective of consumption in the facility as well as a base from which improvements can be measured. Upon completion of the energy assessment, the accumulated data will be analyzed and a summary report written to communicate findings and recommendations. The assessment will capture no- and low-cost, operations & maintenance, and capital improvement opportunites in the areas of lighting, heating, cooling, HVAC system, and process equipment. A financial analysis will be conducted to capture the impact of the energy conservation measures identified.  A carbon footprint analysis will be also conducted as part of this work.  The Utilivate Team and its partners will help implement high-impact measures selected by the customer.
