Energy Efficiency

Energy-efficient homes and buildings use less energy to heat, cool, and run appliances and electronics, and energy-efficient manufacturing facilities use less energy to produce goods. Energy efficiency is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to combat climate change, reduce energy costs for consumers.
With our Energy efficiency services you will save money, increases the resilience and reliability of the electric grid, and provide environmental, and health benefits. At home, office, or any building project you can save money on energy bills by making energy-efficient upgrades—such as adding insulation, using LED lighting, smart home and building technology, innovative HVAC technology and installing a heat pump—that reduce your energy use and can improve comfort and safe.

MEP installations consume large amounts of energy, and especially HVAC equipment. However, well-selected energy efficiency measures can reduce consumption without affecting performance. Since every building is unique, the ideal combination of energy efficiency measures will change accordingly. For this reason, an energy audit is strongly recommended as the first step. Our AJ-MEP engineers can use energy modeling tools to analyze several design options, and find the best configuration for your building.

Many energy efficiency measures are designed for specific buildings, but others can be used in nearly all projects. For example, motion detectors, LED lighting and HVAC equipment upgrades are recommended in most energy audits, unless the owner has improved these systems recently.

An energy audit is the first step to improve energy efficiency in your current building or new projects. Our consulting engineers can conduct a detailed inspection of all your building systems, identifying the best opportunities to save energy. We can analyze their financial and environmental impact, and help you choose the optimal combination of upgrades for your building.

After we get all the required documentation and details about your project/ building systems and equipment’s, our experts who are a certified energy auditor visits the site to perform energy calculations and provide energy consumption. We will generate and certify an energy report for you.

Improving the Indoor Environment

Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is a performance category in the LEED certification for green buildings. IEQ goes beyond air quality alone – covering aspects like thermal comfort, acoustics and lighting. Water quality is also important, given its vital importance for humans.

Air quality has become a high-priority topic after the COVID-19 pandemic, since there is evidence that viral particles can stay suspended in the air for hours. When indoor spaces are poorly ventilated, the accumulation of these particles can threaten occupants. ASHRAE recommends increased ventilation with outdoor air, upgrading filters to at least MERV 13, and deploying ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI).

Our AJ-MEP engineers can also help you improve other aspects of the indoor environment, such as glare prevention and thermal comfort.
