A typical commercial building's energy costs can be reduced about 50% by correcting purchase and use strategy for energy services.
Our managers have operated nine (9) auto company owned power plants in the Midwest and South and have efficiently engineered savings of over $2 million dollars per year at just one plant. Our team has also provided cost saving engineering services to the steel industry, including one in Ohio where we created annual savings of $10 million per year.
Cleveland, OH - School District
Cleveland, Ohio - Industrial Customer
Longwood, VA - Longwood University
Biomass Fueled Boiler Plant
Owner – Longwood University
In 2005, the EMS management team saved Longwood University substantial fuel costs by teaching the boiler operators how to effectively use wood waste as fuel. We reduced fuel costs by 50%. At Virginia Commonwealth University, another university system in Richmond, we operated their boiler house for years saving them money by increasing fuel efficiency.
San Francisco, CA - Station T Steam Plant
Natural Gas & Oil Fueled Steam Plant
Owner - Pacific Gas & Electric Company
From 1990 to 1992 EMS managers operated the Station T Steam Plant. The five boilers totaled 360,000 lb/hr of steam to downtown San Francisco.
Akron, Ohio - City of Akron
The Central Business District (CBD) of Akron saved $20,000,000 per Year in Fuel Costs (from 1995 to 2004)
Owner - City of Akron
Our managers helped activate wood and coal use with a clean technology burning operation at Akron Thermal in 1995 when Akron Thermal (Akron's district heating plant) began investing $10,000,000 into the then natural gasburning Steam Plant. From 1995 to 2004 Akron Thermal saved the Central Business District approximately $221,000,000 in fuel savings. This reactivation was made possible with the installation of the then state-of-the-art pollution control systems.
From 1995 to 2004 in Akron it would have cost $20,000,000 more each year if the CBD buildings used natural gas for their fuel source for heating instead of clean wood and/or coal.
Pittsburgh, PA - Pittsburgh Steam and Cooling Production Plant
Natural Gas Fueled Steam and Chilled Water Plant
Owner - Equitable Gas
From 1992 to 1993 EMS managers operated and maintained the Pittsburgh Thermal gas fueled boiler and chiller plant serving 10,000 tons of cooling and 240,000 lb/hr of steam to two hospitals, a college and twenty other customers.
In that time period, EMS managers reduced fuel costs by $1 million per year.
