Energy work Bridge coordinates
Bridge handles the administrative side of energy compliance and improvement work. Our building energy management services include:
1. Utility-data collection
Bridge collects the utility-consumption records used for your building's benchmarking reports.
2. Benchmarking filings and deadlines
Bridge files energy benchmarking reports and tracks the compliance deadlines associated with that work.
3. Energy-improvement programs and projects
Bridge coordinates utility rebate and incentive programs, retrofit or equipment-replacement projects, and energy-efficiency financing with outside specialists.
02 / INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT
Administration and technical work have different roles
Bridge engages auditors, engineers, commissioning agents and other outside energy specialists. These professionals perform technical audits, assessments and recommendations, engineering, commissioning, emissions modeling and certification.
Your board or ownership team retains its decisions and responsibilities, including decisions about proposed work and spending.
03 / INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT
Energy administration within ongoing management
Bridge assigns a dedicated account manager to each building and averages four buildings per manager across its portfolio.
Ongoing property management includes a weekly visit to every building.
Boards receive at least one board meeting per month and a reply to every board inquiry within one business day.
