We Offer Turnkey Energy Savings Solutions

We’re Functional Energy Solutions, FES for short, and our mission is to save our commercial and industrial clients a lot of money on their utility bills. We do this by identifying, implementing, and managing a variety of energy savings initiatives. From small distribution centers to complex industrial factories, we prepare custom energy solutions to meet your needs and help you achieve your energy goals.

Why Choose FES

We’re here to help! FES is a boutique engineering firm offering customized solutions that are specific to the needs of your building and personnel. After a thorough on-site evaluation, FES will provide a list of recommended energy efficiency measures available to implement with your own internal resources, or you can choose to let us take care of your energy efficiency project from start to finish.

Our identified solutions will allow for more efficient building operation with improved reliability while reducing your overall utility costs. We offer our commercial and industrial clients:

How We Do It

We are an engineering and general contracting firm specializing in energy efficiency. After conducting a thorough audit of your facility’s energy use, we will make recommendations regarding your energy-consuming systems to improve their efficiency and reduce your utility spend. We’ll offer a turnkey solution to act as the general contractor to implement those recommendations. 

This solution will include custom control sequences and supervising of mechanical, electrical, and controls subcontractors with engineering oversight to provide a complete, done-for-you service package that creates raving fans in the ESG, facility, and accounting departments. 

This type of implementation work is not new to anyone working at FES – each of us has years of experience working on these types of retro-commissioning projects.

Our Process

Analysis
During this phase we utilize energy auditing and utility bill benchmarking to identify key areas of improvement in your building and with specific motors and systems.
1
Strategy
Next, our team develops an energy strategy including recommended projects. Using advanced energy modeling, we are able to project ROI and build financial models.
2
Implementation
After certain projects are "green lit", we get to work. During this phase, we can act as a general contractor (GC) or construction manager overseeing the implementation.
3
Verification
Finally, after all energy adjustments and projects have been implemented, we conduct thorough measurement and verification (M&V) to quantify savings and success.
