Performance Services is the leading provider of guaranteed energy savings projects in our markets. Our approach is defined by two elements: the performance and the guarantee. As far as performance is concerned, we don’t work with theoretical or approximate numbers. We look closely at customer utility bills over the last 12 months or more to discover your real consumption of gas, electricity and/or water. With this benchmark and our proposed energy conservation measures, we make projections and define a new baseline of anticipated future energy consumption. The difference between past and projected future energy use forms the basis of the contract.
After project completion for measured and verified contracts, our performance assurance monitoring starts. On a monthly basis, we compare your utility bills with our guarantee to make sure that your savings are actually being realized. Monitoring is ongoing and lasts the life of the contract. And we don’t just look at energy consumption – crucial though that is. For HVAC renovations, we examine the run-time data to make sure that mechanical systems are running for the correct length of time for the customer. We never distort performance data by turning equipment off or altering temperature set points just to meet targets.
