- Initial Meeting
- Introduction to Alliance Energy Solutions and its
services.
- Discuss customer's goals and objectives.
- Set expectations and timeframes.
- Energy Audit/Assessment
- A detailed, room-by-room assessment is completed. Some
of the
information your Energy Consultant will make note of
includes:
- Hours of Operation
- Square Footage of your facility (for EPAct purposes)
- Types of Measures (T12's, Metal Halides, HPS's,
etc...)
- Location of Measures and quantities
- Cost of Electricity
- Project Analysis
- A Program Manager will begin analyzing the data received
from your
Energy Consultant.
- The Program Manager will discuss the customer's goals
and objectives
with the Energy Consultant to determine the appropriate
new Measures to be installed at the customer's facility.
- If a State or a Utility Rebate is available for this
project, the Program
Manager will identify such rebate and use its value
in the project's
financial analysis.
- EPAct (Energy Policy Act of 2005)
allows for a one-time tax deduction by companies to
complete an energy project before the end of 2013. This
tax deduction is allowed to be taken in the year the
project is completed. The Program Manager will calculate
the expected tax incentive and its
value will be factored into the financial analysis of
the proposed project.
- The Program Manager will then complete a pre and
post analysis of the
facilities energy consumption using both the old and
new fixtures/measures, as well as the EPAct incentive
and any rebates that are available.
- The formal proposal is created for the Energy Consultant
to present to the customer.
- Presentation of Proposal to Customer
- The Energy Consultant will present a general scope
of work to be
performed, the financial analysis of the project, an
environmental impact
analysis, and financing options, if needed.
- Once the customer decides to move forward, a Project
Manager is
assigned to facilitate the project's implementation.
- Pre-Construction Review
- An AES Project Manager conducts a room-by-room analysis
of the facility to determine all construction requirements
and discusses the installation process with the customer. Since
this is a 100% turn-key solution, the Project Manager
will facilitate and manage all aspects of the project.
- Installation
- Working under the close supervision of the Project
Manager, Alliance Energy Solutions installs or retrofits
the new energy conservation measures.
- Post-Installation Review
- Upon completion of the installation, an Alliance Energy
Solutions Certified Energy Manager will conduct a post-installation
review to certify the project has met all of the requirements
for the EPAct tax incentive. If a Utility incentive
was available, AES will work with the Utility to certify
that all of the specified work has been completed.
- Project Completion
- The paperwork is finalized as needed.
