Collaboration and partnership are instrumental to a successful energy performance project. Upfront, our team works closely with the administration and staff on assembling the right energy solution for the facility. Many times, this involves upgrading mechanical systems, installing building controls, and performing lighting retrofits throughout a facility and may include multiple buildings. Once the energy project is determined, then construction and installation begin.
Our construction management team builds a relationship with the facility management team and specifically with the facility manager because they understand their facilities and the nuances of their buildings. Sharing the vision of the project and our goals for the building allows management and the facility manager to provide input that will further help with energy savings for their facilities.
Facility managers play a crucial role in the success of energy performance contracts. By understanding the scope of work Navitas performs and integrating all components seamlessly, facility managers can ensure the new equipment and software not only provides peace of mind but also delivers a solid return on investment.
Our energy manager works closely with the facility manager to work throughout our service contract. Our energy manager educates and trains the facility manager on the building automation software which allows our team to be successful in making sure all the facility equipment is operating optimally to meet our savings guarantee. Once facility managers and staff see the results and energy costs go down, they really understand the value of our services.
Navitas is a partner on all levels of the client from the CEO to the facility manager to ensure energy savings goals are being met and accomplished. It’s our objective to be a long-term partner with our clients. Many of our clients renew their energy performance contracts, because they see the savings they are receiving. These funds can then be invested in other parts of their operations and not into utility costs.
