Energy Facilitation & Management

SUMMARY OF SERVICES

EFM Solutions is a green engineering and consulting firm with over 10 years of industry experience specializing in energy efficiency, sustainability and utility programs.  EFM Solutions strives to educate California businesses about cost-effective energy saving strategies and technologies that add to the bottom line.  EFM Solutions accomplishes this goal in two parts: offering energy audits to both residential and non-residential facilities; and implementing energy efficiency programs through California Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs).

Energy audits are the first step toward understanding how to lower energy consumption and reduce operating costs.  Many businesses are not aware of how inefficiently their facilities are operating.  New technologies are constantly being introduced into the marketplace that can significantly reduce energy consumption.  EFM Solutions provides the expertise necessary to educate customers on plausible energy efficiency opportunities to reduce energy use and save money. 

EFM Solutions also assists local businesses in reducing their operating costs while doing their part to prevent rolling blackouts by performing a Demand Response (DR) audit.  On the hottest days of the year, energy demand surpasses supply and the utilities are forced to cut power to certain areas, commonly known as a rolling blackout.  During these days, businesses can react by reducing a small portion of their load to help the state avoid rolling blackouts.  EFM Solutions provides the technical knowledge to inform businesses as to how they can respond to these emergency events with minimal comfort and operational sacrifices.  EFM Solutions then connects customers with monetary incentives available through the IOUs for reducing their load.

Additionally, EFM Solutions is participating in the 2009-2011 Energy Efficiency Program Portfolio.  EFM Solutions will be managing a turn-key Parking Garage Improvement Program in the PG&E territory which aims to reduce over 16 Million kWh and 2,200 kW in demand annually.
