FULCRUM's approach to identifying, developing and implementing a successful energy savings program is based on over 25 years of delivering successful energy programs to an impressive list of institutional clients. The basic philosophies and tactics to identify and achieve realistic, sustainable savings remain largely unchanged even with the rapidly evolving energy marketplace.
FULCRUM's operational perspective ensures that savings can be achieved through the practical, efficient application of an institution's limited resources; human and financial. Simple paybacks of less than 4 years are the norm and are funded through an integrated capital investment strategy.
FULCRUM's proven energy savings experience is grounded in hands-on, field-driven, operations-based surveys and strategies that reflect the 'real world' conditions and ensure the ultimate success of an energy program long after it is implemented.
FULCRUM's approach to Energy:
- Alternative energy systems before alternative energy sources
- Innovative approaches to achieve proven solutions is better than throwing money at new and unproven technologies
- Avoid technologies marketed as 'Green' which in application will leave an institution 'Black and Blue'
- Understand that in new capital projects, value engineering can often lead to increased annual costs in the operating budget
- One measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions
