The following activities can be included in an Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) arrangement, either individually or as a comprehensive package:

Core Energy Services:

• Energy audits and analysis: Conducting detailed assessments to identify energy-saving opportunities.
• Planning of energy efficiency interventions and savings: Developing strategies to achieve energy reductions.
• Design services: Creating detailed designs for energy-efficient systems and technologies.
• Purchase or installation of equipment: Procuring and installing energy-saving technologies.
• Project initiation, preparation, and/or implementation: Overseeing all aspects of project management, including documentation and execution.
• Commissioning: Ensuring that installed systems are operating as intended.
• Measurement and Verification (M&V) of achieved energy savings: Systematically tracking and verifying the energy savings generated by the project.
• Monitoring and assessment of energy savings: Ongoing evaluation to ensure sustained energy performance.
• Training of facility owner’s operating staff: Educating staff on the operation and maintenance of new systems.
• Consultancy and training: Providing expert advice and specialized training to support energy efficiency initiatives.

Additional Services:

• Financing: Offering financial solutions to support energy efficiency projects, often including third-party financing options.
