Energy Performance & Upgrading

Preliminary Design

In this initial stage of the process, the necessary information, documentation and data are collected, such as architectural and electromechanical plans, electricity, water, gas, consumption data etc.

Our electromechanical engineers also carry out on-site inspection at the building in order to start the energy surveys and modeling.

Energy Performance & Upgrading

Design Strategy Implementation

In this phase, we proceed to analyze the data related to the energy needs from the proposed scenarios, assess the proposed energy consumption mitigation methods and last but not least, we proceed to the design of energy upgrading.

Next, we design the proposed new technology systems and integrate their operability and performance to the building shell along with Smart Building automation systems and finally with the proposal of cogeneration systems.

The design concludes with an estimation of the required budget, time schedule, and the Return of Investment potential through the anticipated energy consumption savings.

Also, we can propose an off-grid installation and design the energy-saving strategy from scratch where appropriate.

Operation & Maintenance of E/M equipment

To ensure that all E/M equipment is working properly, our associate engineers create a maintenance plan to establish operability and performance.


We also implement a tailor-made predictive and preventive maintenance strategy, to ensure the functionality, continuous operation, safety and efficiency of the infrastructure.

Moreover, we implement a carbon footprint mitigation scheme to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases emission.
