Demand-Side Energy Engineering
Telluride Engineering has a robust understanding of system utility demands, from site irrigation systems, HVAC, pumping energy, process water consumption and others. We can help you quantify your facility’s highest consumption services and best opportunities for improvement and evaluate new facilities for overall efficient design.
Modern energy and utility efficient solutions include heat pumps, geothermal systems, solar systems, high efficiency chillers, LED lighting and many more.
Existing Facility: Energy Auditing and Efficiency Measures
Owners of existing facilities face many challenges such as aging equipment or processes, outdated design practices (such as resistive strip heat) or other characteristics driving excessive utility consumption. Common opportunities for savings are in natural gas, electricity and water. We can help you evaluate equipment replacement and upgrades for a given ROI, add control systems to shut equipment down when not in use, and leverage utility contracts and options to reduce overall rate structure.
New Facility: Design for Lowest Lifecycle Cost
Frequently in facility design, the lowest first-cost can lead to lifetime energy and utility costs that far outpace initial savings. Our team can integrate into your design team for new facility or planned renovation to existing facilities to ensure that the final design incorporates utility and energy priorities.
We can also leverage utility programs such as demand response to leverage site infrastructure to reduce cost.
