Institutional

Institutions like hospitals, colleges, universities and retirement homes are purpose-built facilities with complex, energy-intensive operations.

Institutions also have high quality standards in programming, patient care, and service delivery. To maintain these high standards in the face of significant budget pressures, institutions need the ability to budget accurately, manage budgets, cut costs and emissions, and generate awareness for results achieved.

How Energent Helps

A simple-to-use interface provides instant, accurate data regarding changes in energy use. It highlights operational opportunities for reducing energy usage and sustaining efficiencies over time.

Reductions in energy use are easily reported to build awareness about your progress and to verify results achieved by third-party service providers.

Energent can help institutional building managers:

  • Produce accurate budgets
  • Track and report energy use by cost centre
  • Isolate and eliminate waste
  • Change behaviours to increase operational productivity
  • Monitor and maintain equipment energy efficiency
  • Measure and verify the results of third-party contractors
  • Report accurate, relevant information to stakeholders
  • Access Monitoring & Targeting (M&T) functionality for LEED Certification

Energy efficiency in institutional facilities yields many significant results:

  • Reduce your energy costs and carbon emissions
  • Meet your established budget(s)
  • Make you assets more profitable and valuable
  • Build awareness about energy conservation goals and results
