Energy Efficiency [top]
We have considerable experience in all areas of assessment, design, and implementation of energy efficiency projects. End uses addressed include lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, water heating, and industrial process.
Daylight Harvesting and State-of-the-Art Lighting Design [top]
Our certified lighting designers are leaders in premium-efficiency and high-performance lighting design, including integrated daylight and occupancy controls and cost-effective skylight and monitor designs.
Water Conservation [top]
Our assessments of water conservation projects address end-use fixtures and equipment for water-use reduction. We also evaluate engineered water consuming systems such as HVAC heat rejection and industrial process equipment.
Renewable Energy Systems [top]
We have extensive expertise in a variety of renewable technologies including photovoltaic and solar hot water systems, passive solar designs, micro-hydro and geo-thermal technologies, and distributed generation systems.
Construction Practices and Materials [top]
Our environmentally benign construction practices take into account building orientation and site selection and use low-impact methods and materials.
Indoor Air Quality [top]
Our building designs minimize the probability of air quality problems, and we understand the interrelationship between air quality and energy efficiency and can develop approaches to maximize efficiency while ensuring that healthy air quality is not jeopardized.
LEED Consulting [top]
ERS provides overall consulting for the LEED certification process. Our services include LEED credit review and calculations and credit submittal preparation for targeted credits.
