by 1117 b3 — November 23, 2009—UGL Unicco, a subsidiary of UGL Limited, has started an Energy Services practice that consolidates and enhances its previous portfolio of energy management offerings. UGL Unicco Energy Services helps customers manage energy supply and usage, as well as develop and implement long-term strategies to reduce consumption and costs while improving sustainability, according to UGL Unicco.
UGL Unicco Energy Services focuses on the following aspects of energy lifecycle management:
Supply Helps customers find optimal traditional and alternative (green) energy sources, and develop alternative models for purchasing energy in wholesale and commercial markets at the most cost-effective rates.
Awareness Encourages building occupants to become active participants in the energy conservation process. The program reaches building occupants through normal communications channels, as well as special Web sites and programs, including real-time energy monitors/displays.
Analysis/Certification Offers a number of analysis services ranging from carbon footprint evaluations to energy trending and profiles, benchmarking, real-time monitoring and reporting. Energy professionals conduct American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Level I, II & III energy analyses of building systems resulting in gap analyses that detail ways to optimize energy systems, reduce carbon emissions, and create offsets. U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professionals help customers move through LEED certification programs.
Operational Strategies Helps companies evaluate and qualify for government and utility company rebates for retrofits and upgrades, as well as demand response programs. Energy invoice reviews that analyze cost components and compare invoices to actual usage to minimize errors and reduce overall costs are also available.
Customers may select any or all of the available services ranging from low-cost walkthroughs to investment grade energy analysis and project management. Customers may also receive guidance on financing and performance-based contracting by third-party partners or subcontracted engineering firms.
