ENERGY/FACILITY AUDITSSodexo’s experienced energy auditors conduct a thorough investigation of your facilities—assessing the condition of your energy infrastructure. Oppor-tunities identified through an on-site energy audit can include low- or no-cost measures, behavioral modifications, equipment replacements, and proposed capital investments. As your facility services partner and energy advocate, we’ll identify energy measures that have proven to be effective for other success-ful organizations and help you uncover ways to make your own operations more efficient.

LEED/ENERGY STAR CERTIFICATIONPursuing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or ENERGY STAR certification has helped many organizations become top building energy performers while saving money and protecting the environment. Sodexo can help you assess the value of certifi-cation and determine the steps required to meet certification requirements.

SODEXO ENERGY PLANNING SERVICES

CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PLANSDoes your physical plant require upgrades, but your capital budget is unable to sustain them all at once? Sodexo can develop a plan that allows for the replacement of critical infrastruc-ture or equipment over a specified period of time, allowing for effective budgeting of expenditures. We also offer energy performance contracts that enable you to finance capital improvement projects with little or no upfront costs. Unavail-ability of funds should not stop you from saving energy.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT/VERIFICATIONIndependent verification of your energy usage allows you to accurately measure energy performance over time. Sodexo can measure and verify key performance indicators that are commonly used for rebate programs, sustainability initia-tives and energy performance contracts.

UTILITY BENCHMARKINGSodexo’s benchmark reports present the energy use per square foot of prop-erty—your “Energy Use Index”—so that energy performance can be monitored over time and managed to meet your goals. Comparing your Energy Use Index to similar buildings helps to quantify the value of improving your energy effi-ciency. Once the potential savings are quantified, energy improvement mea-sures can be evaluated in terms of their impact on improving efficiency and low-ering expenses.

ENERGY PROCUREMENTWith the confusion of today’s energy markets, many organizations are look-ing for more predictable, cost-effective ways to procure energy. We begin by assessing your energy needs, reviewing any existing procurement contracts and identifying appropriate supply options. Once your business objectives have been determined, our team develops a strate-gic sourcing plan that’s tailored to meet your specific goals. Once established, your energy plan is actively managed to identify additional procurement oppor-tunities designed to lower your costs. We do not just “set it and forget it”.
