MSI offers energy management services that are practical and cost effective. Our experienced staff and engineers have been facility managers, utility executives, construction managers, and businessmen who recognize the need to be energy conscious.

MSI's staff and advisors have helped design the EnergyStar program, they are LEED (Leadership in Environmentally Efficient Design) certified and are actively offering renewable technology integration solutions.

We work as your agent - The Owner's Agent in crafting your energy solutions and cutting your energy bill. We are not resellers of any particular technology and have no vested interests in having you buy energy solutions.

Energy Strategy - We will prioritize the energy conservation initiatives available to you with the shortest payback periods. These could include: Fuel shifting, Peak shaving, Load shedding. Maximize use of off-peak energy prices, Optimize performance of existing systems, and Analyze past utility bills for possible cash returns. In addition, we can write your energy procurement policy for purchasing energy in deregulated markets.

Physical Facility Review - a review of your physical facility (drawings and structure) and an energy audit will give you ideas on options available to save energy. These energy savings options will be linked to State and Federal incentives that are passed down through the local utility. At MSI, we will consider the capital cost outlay and work up a life cycle cost analysis that will ensure a payback in 2 - 10 years.

A/E Services Support - getting involved at the design or reconstruction stage is a good idea to incorporate the necessary energy efficiency and "sustainable building" design features. Use of proper materials to orientation and size of the roof can determine energy use in the house, which in the long run can save on energy bills. In selecting a "holistic" approach, we will advise on lighting, insulation, roofing, windows, HVAC and heat recovery systems.

Sustainable Awareness Campaign - depending on the size of your facility, a continuous, sustainable energy awareness campaign is a good idea for you to become a "Green" company. Being considered "Green and Clean" is not only environmentally sound, but also can benefit your company through federal incentives for grants and contracts.

Our APPROACH to Energy Efficiency:
 · Perform energy audit.
 · Convert every watt, gallon of oil, CCF of natural gas and gallon of propane into BTU's.
 · Research to establish benchmarks in comparable facilities or industries.
 · Use BTU's/square analysis to identify opportunities for savings.
 · Develop financial model to calculate payback period.
 · Maximize rebates from local utilities.
 · Develop capital budgets for implementation of energy conservation initiatives.
 · Assist with developing ESPCs (Energy Services Performance Contracts).

We has developed an interactive Energy Analysis Tool to determine whether the energy consumption for a building is below or above industrial benchmarks. Please visit Energy Tools & Resources for more further information.

Our APPROACH to integrating Renewable/Alternative energy:
 · Backup power using micro turbines - peak shaving.
 · Mini-hydro systems - battery charging.
 · PV Integrated Construction and Solar Roofs - sun power.
 · Alternative fuels - ethanol.
 · Small wind engines - enable "net metering" which is a federal law.
