Mechanical Room Efficiency
The mechanical room of a large multi-family, commercial, or industrial building can be an important source of cost-effective energy saving investments. Advances in equipment efficiency and controls technologies make it possible to achieve greater reliability, reduce maintenance requirements, prolong system life, and achieve better comfort in occupied spaces. Taking a holistic approach to mechanical room efficiency is a sound strategy for building owners and operators.
With the increasing number of EV’s, the demand for charging stations is increasing rapidly. A dedicated team at RISE can design/build a solution that captures significant cost-sharing in conjunction with the emerging utility company programs.
Once facilities have optimized their efficiency, RISE has helped many clients utilize PV systems to move towards "net zero" energy use.
Most electricity used in non-residential buildings flows through distribution transformers on the customer side of the electric meter. Older equipment can be replaced with premium efficiency transformers that will reduce noise and heat, and save a significant amount of energy. Because transformers are powered every hour of every day, even incremental improvements can yield significant energy savings over time.

It is important to ensure your facility is not wasting energy on inefficient heating and cooling systems. These systems usually make up over 50% of the site's energy load. Identifying when to upgrade these large energy-using items is a critical part of managing your overall operational costs.
Outdoor and low profile garage LED fixtures to maintain light levels over time, cost less, and require less maintenance in providing necessary safety illumination for patrons.
Advanced lighting controls help save energy and enhance building occupant comfort by using energy-efficient LED light when and where it is needed most. Types of controls include lighting-level presets, occupancy sensors, single and multi-zone dimming, daylight harvesting sensors, photocell sensors, and wireless remote control.
The effective use of controls to guide the operation of the HVAC, lighting, and other systems is a critical element to achieving an efficient and comfortable indoor environment. A wide variety of Building Automation Systems is available for this purpose, and RISE Engineering has the resources and the experience to apply the right solution to your facility’s needs.

High-efficiency chillers can save up to 60% of your cooling costs for your facilities.
Eliminate the need for hot water when building and resurfacing ice while lower utility costs for your facility. The ice rink water treatment installed by RISE is maintenance-free and removes micro-air bubbles from water without using chemicals, filters or membranes. This technique requires no additional energy sources to operate and typically yields an ROI of 1-2 years.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are power conversion devices designed to improve the efficiency of HVAC, fans, and pump systems
by supplying only the energy required at a certain time by the building or occupant demand. VFDs are best used with devices that
may not always need to run at full capacity all the time.
VFDs typically work in conjunction with a direct digital control panel. This method allows us to match each building's unique
requirements.

It was an easy decision to move forward with this project once we saw how much we could save. I was worried that the installation would inconvenience the tenants or interrupt our operations, but after the installers introduced themselves and got to work we barely noticed they were there. The initial savings we've realized have been great, and we're interested in retrofitting other buildings.
