ECG ENGINEERING, P.C.
SERVICES: ENERGY PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING

ECG has assisted many school districts and municipalities in taking advantage of the benefits of energy-performance contracting (EPC). EPC allows you to replace boilers, lights, windows, HVAC systems and other energy-related building components with new, energy-efficient systems, without any out-of-pocket expense. Energy Performance Contracting can be beneficial in many different situations, including bond failures, necessary wear-and-tear replacement, and new construction and additions. Using this unique procedure, instead of cutting out projects, you can perform all qualifying projects at no cost and save your bond or other available funds for non-energy related projects.
The ECG team is a precise group of experienced engineering
professionals that can evaluate and explain the merits
of the competing performance contractors. We pride ourselves
on incorporating high standards for health and safety into
the project design,ensuring that the project is designed
in accordance with all applicable requirements. Asbestos, lead paint,
PCB ballasts, mercury light bulbs and other contaminants
can be inadvertently released in your buildings by the performance
contractor unless the entire process is designed and
supervised properly. ECG knows the best way to select a
quality, low-cost performance contractor and manage the
construction project safely.
Specific Benefits
- Daylighting strategies greatly improve the learning environment. Studies show improved student performance up to 26% and increased test scores up to 9%.
- Better temperature control improves occupant comfort and saves energy.
- Improved ventilation reduces IAQ complaints.
- Biofuels, photovoltaics, solar, wind,and geothermal energy sources reduce our dependence on petroleum.
- Excess energy savings can be used for educational purposes (solar kiosks).
