Energy Efficiency Project (ECM)

How the project is developed

---

The energy savings potential is estimated based on a pre-evaluation and an assessment using tools such as Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager. This analysis includes the review of existing plans, the historical behavior of electricity bills, and the utility provider’s tariff.

From this initial assessment, it is determined whether there is sufficient potential to move forward. When the potential is high, Innova Energy and Enerion carry out a detailed study that allows the design of energy conservation measures (ECM) with a clearly defined return on investment.

Project Phases

• Initial evaluation: review of existing information and pre-assessment of savings potential.
• Potential determination: if the potential is sufficient, the project advances to a detailed study.
• Energy study: implementation of a Measurement & Verification (M&V) system and ASHRAE Level 3 energy audit.
• ECM development: definition of improvements, financial estimation (ROI), and value promise in energy savings.
