Ameresco has unrivaled knowledge, technical capabilities and intellectual
capital needed to develop solutions that improve efficiency, productivity
and financial performance while reducing risk and cost.
Our efficiency and productivity services are designed to reduce
energy and operating costs, increase productivity, and modernize
facilities. In many cases, we enhance safety and comfort, and
achieve regulatory compliance.
Power Quality & Reliability
With today's advanced systems and equipment, the quality of power
can make a big difference in how the equipment operates. Even
millisecond power disturbances can cause equipment to shut down.
Ameresco can diagnose problems in your electrical systems that
affect power quality, then design and implement solutions for
new and upgraded power systems that deliver the quality you need
to deliver goods and services.
Transformed Power
Would it be cost effective to install a dedicated substation at
your site so that you can receive high-tension primary electrical
supply at a lower rate? Ameresco can assess the costs and benefits,
then follow through with installation of primary power switchgear
and transformers. Our experience ensures full compliance with all
environmental codes related to the selection and installation of
equipment. We can also provide operation and maintenance for new
equipment, once installed.
Performance Contracting
Through performance contracting, we can deliver a comprehensive
cost reduction project that is entirely self-funding. Ameresco provides
both the capital to upgrade the facility and the annual repair and
maintenance costs. The cost of the project is paid from the savings
realized, and you typically see a positive cash flow.

Work
Demand-Side Management
Ameresco works collaboratively with you to identify and implement
capital projects and operational modifications that reduce the
ownership, operations and maintenance costs of energy-consuming
systems and equipment. We'll also help you secure any rebates
offered by utilities, state or federal resources. Types of projects
developed for customers include the following:
Equipment Efficiency - Equipment replacement, system component
retrofit, energy recovery equipment addition
Operational Efficiency - Operating procedures modification,
controls addition, control sequence refinement, maintenance practices
alteration
Load Management - Energy source switching, dual fuel capability,
operating schedule modifications, converted energy storage
Process Productivity - Production flow refinement, capacity
bottlenecking reduction production line speed increases, new process
