Facility Planning
G&R Controls specializes in master facility planning, which is a process of having Certified Energy Managers (CEM) evaluate a facility's HVAC equipment, lighting, and building envelope components. They look for energy savings through better utilization of existing systems, researching opportunities for upgrades, and integration of building automation systems.
Oftentimes, master facility planning sheds light on processes and procedures, or lack thereof, to help implement a strategic plan for capital and operational investments. The goal is to achieve long-term operational stability while addressing energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and comfort.
Capital investments in your facility will improve heating, cooling, ventilation, humidity, and lighting, which will result in higher occupant concentration levels and reduce the risk of developing sick building syndrome.
One component of the operational investment is a preventive maintenance service program and a long-term relationship with an expert in energy services to reduce future maintenance and energy costs. Proper maintenance allows equipment the opportunity to reach its average rated life expectancy.
Generally, a facility ownership group will enter into a partnership with G&R Controls to perform a comprehensive building assessment. We will identify and evaluate potential capital improvements and energy-saving opportunities within your systems, then provide a list of solutions based on the particular needs of your facility. These recommendations can range from new HVAC equipment to lighting retrofits, building envelope improvements and updating building automation systems.
G&R Controls will work alongside the facility ownership group to prioritize improvements that best fit their needs based on budgets and potential energy savings.
G&R Controls has access to several financing options that offer competitive interest rates. We can research any applicable federal, state, and/or municipal financing programs available for your project.
From single-phase to multi-phase projects, G&R Controls will provide a turn-key project suited for your facility. Our project managers will communicate and manage scheduling expectations from the planning phase throughout project implementation with both the facility ownership group and the construction team.
